Blue Jean Smudge Painting

Raised and currently working in Vancouver, BC, Jill’s passion lies in creating larger scale, textural abstract paintings. Influenced by her extensive travels and surroundings of beautiful west coast water and mountains. Her formative years were immersed in the arts, in music and as a dancer for 15 years. It wasn’t until many years later painting with her young daughter, (20 years ago) that she truly realized her passion. Through painting, she escaped the intense anxieties of everyday life and would lose herself for hours in her studio. Funneling all her emotions in a piece with texture and layers, creating became her therapy. Her goal is to create a moment in time to pause, breathe and wonder.
