"I paint the colours that I see in landscapes and surroundings. The greys and greens of where I live are too cool for me, I pump them up, in my paintings. You can still 'read' them even though you know that a road isn't purple." Born on the west coast, Jill pursued careers in fashion design and decorating before becoming a painter. Her love of strong colour is evident in her vibrant landscapes and oversized florals. "I was always talking clients into more colour in their selection for walls and furniture." She enjoys painting in both oil and acrylic mediums. Jill's paintings have been sold internationally, in England, the United States and Mexico and have been included as part of several corporate collections. Her studio and home are located in the lower mainland, near Vancouver, in British Columbia, Canada
