HI, I’M JILL
Human connections with the environment, both past and present, shape my lifestyle as an outdoor enthusiast and advocate, career as an archaeologist, and growing art practice.
I’m a community-taught artist, supported by creative family and friends, inspired by makers near and far, and buoyed by techniques learned along the way. I consider painting to be a form of being in conversation with the environment - and a tool to protect it. My practice is grounded in place-based watercolors, visual notes of time and place, that inspire and inform my studio work.
I grew up in Alaska and currently live in Fairbanks, the traditional lands of the Dene people of the lower Tanana River.
