Questions of existence and the human potential for transformation establish the underpinnings of Jill’s work. Influenced by encounters with animals in dreams and the natural world, her work often utilizes animal based imagery. Balancing ethereal inquiries, her work continues to augment efforts of conservation and rehabilitation by partnering with organizations such as the International Bird Rescue Research Center.



Working primarily with ink on paper, her fluid relationship with printmaking and drawing is evident. The work ranges from large-scale sculptural installation to intimate, intricate artist books. A gesture for connection, her work proffers hope. Entailing labor-intensive methods, her working process bridges the numinous with the material world.
