My goal as a human and an artist is to add joy, humor, beauty, and a little wonder to each day.
There are plenty of things wrong with the world, but there is a lot of good too.
And that is worth noticing.
My art is a reminder to notice.

Hello!
My name is Jill, and I'm delighted you are here.
Welcome to my corner of the information highway.
Please use this space as a rest stop for your brain. Walk around, stretch, and touch your toes.
Thankfully, there is a light breeze, so it doesn't smell like a typical rest stop, and nothing is made from stainless steel, so enjoy, but please wash your hands, don't write on the walls, and try not to pee on the seat.
Here you will find multiple art portfolios (because how does one choose only one form of art of focus on?) from encaustic (paint made from beeswax) to watercolor, collage, a swath of digital experiments, my specific brand of humor, a blog, and of course a shop from which you can purchase all kinds of tasty art.
On my favorite days, I drink tea and paint with watercolor as the sun comes over the trees. Or I draw on my iPad with the head of my giant dog in my lap. She does not mind being an iPad holding platform.
Then, after a late breakfast and a long dog walk on the beach, usually in the rain because it's the coast, I spend the afternoon in the garage painting with fire and hot wax.
I look forward to making art every day and hope that by sharing my art, I inspire you to experiment with your own creative voice.
I am also a connoisseur of snacks, so I'm the best person to go on a journey with!
Speaking of snacks. “The Nibbler” is my bi-weekly newsletter, and you should absolutely subscribe to it because it's delightful and fun. You can subscribe at the bottom of this page.
What People Are Saying
“Jill’s work far surpassed my expectations! I love well done encaustic pieces that bring the right depths to a painting. I thought that the small sized I ordered would feel small and diminutive, but not at all, they are perfect!”
— Kim Z.
“The encaustic paintings I ordered from Jill arrived today, they are even more beautiful in person, and they are perfect for the space I had in mind. I love them very much.”
— Rebecca S.
“I have many pieces of Jill’s work throughout my home. I love the colors and light bright and airy feeling I get when I look at them. They always bring me a sense of calm.”
— D. Scribes
“I have purchased several pieces from Jill and each is unique in design and color. I love to use the smaller pieces to brighten up all the corners of our home!”
