SOUTHERN watercolor LANDSCAPE PAINTER
instructor • Sojourner • Wonder Seeker

Hey! I’m Jill, a life-long artist and nature enthusiast, on a quest to keep childlike wonder at the forefront of daily life through painting and travel.

Painting figurative landscapes in watercolor is my expression of gratitude for the amazing, sacred, and mysterious beauty of nature, and her seasons and life lessons.
|
I love sharing my passion for painting and wonder with others, so come along with me for the journey!

THE MAKING OF A LANDSCAPE PAINTER
A Feral Childhood & Other Nefarious Pursuits
|
Growing up in the deep South with acres of rural woods and farmland as my playground, had an impact on the way I understood the world. I explored it all, freely without supervision. The rising and setting of the sun were bookends for each day spent living an existence of curiosity and exploration.
The beauty and magic of creeks, fields, and woods captivated and shaped me. This is when I learned that my connection to nature would forever be a catalyst for wonder and creativity. Wow, was adulthood this shocking for everybody? Growing up and challenging the status quo…
Wow, was adulthood this shocking for everybody? My inner ‘feral child’ struggled over time to suppress her wildness and wonder, and ultimately began conforming to the world’s expectations with abandon...fast forward 3 decades, and you'll find me running through the woods again. ...But, the universe was still at work…
Lots of divine intervention, and a willingness to believe that anything is possible, allowed my sense of wonder and creativity to reclaim center stage in my life. I celebrate this, and my love for nature every day through continually evolving as an artist and helping others do the same. |

Wonder, Woods & Watercolor

Guiding other landscape artists in their creative journey is extremely satisfying for me because I know there's wild, creative treasure hidden inside each of us.
Releasing your ‘feral child’ to run free is extremely rewarding... |
|
...and going an adventure with friends is always more fun, so if you’re a developing abstract landscape painter working in watercolor, I'd love to connect with you.
I’m here anytime you’d like to go on a creative journey. |
