Jill has used her creativity for many years and developed a diverse range of skills across a range of mediums. She probably wanted to be a painter but her choice of working with glass and textiles stems from the excitement of manipulating and layering different materials, using strong colours and textures, often producing surprising results and revealing glimpses of underlying surfaces. Of late, she chooses to up-cycle, and re-purpose textiles and other items into her work, often with just a hint of humour, but always with flair and imagination.
