Statement
Hi, I’m Jill, Life Coach, Artist and Writer.
As an Artist, I’m drawn to exploring our intuitive connection; bringing out of the inner mind, images, feelings - whatever is inside us. My Art tends more to the abstract or semi-impressionistic, touching on the real world, but ending somewhere else. Working often in watercolours and inks, I love to see where the image starts, and discover what choices come up as the mark making reveals a known or unknown image. Seeing where my intuition takes the image can be both frustrating and liberating.
I especially love the freedom of mixed media: Gouache, inks, immediacy of pastels, the commitment of permanent ink, and all manner of mark making tools. I have come to embrace the process of where a painting goes, not knowing where it will end up. My love of nature draws me to her elements – especially her trees - her rocks, ferns, florals, in landscape and close-up forms.
Bringing my Art and Life Coaching together, I am exploring how the art of combining images, colours and words can help us to know our inner depths, heal our ‘stuff’ and have the courage to share our unique gifts to the world.
