The collection of Jill’s work comes from her travels on the continent. While she travels widely, Jill is from North Carolina and from a young age showed a fondness for drawing and draftsmanship. She worked in Florence, Italy, studying still life, portraiture, and the figure. Jill’s  exposure to classical realism and to the academic figurative style transformed her work and persona. As her training became her own singular task, she travelled to the deserts of Utah and the museums of London and Vienna, drawing and painting from life and Old Master examples. 

 

Jill’s work has exhibited in France, England, and throughout the southeastern United States. She is permanently collected in three museums, including the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston where she is the youngest living artist to ever be collected. Her work can also be found in numerous private collections. Jill lives and works between downtown Charleston and London, where she is annually the artist-in-residence at London Fine Art Studios.
