Jill is a West Yorkshire–based painter and photographer whose work marks a return to painting after many years as a community artist. Combining photographic observation with an expressive approach to paint, she creates atmospheric landscapes inspired by nature, with a particular passion for the sea.

I am now retired from my professional (financial)work life in this country and abroad. My main activity is art but I also do a lot of walking to try to keep me healthy. I am in two art groups and spend time with fellow artists twice a week. I originally learnt to paint in watercolour, but now also use acrylic.
