After graduating from Sweet Briar with a BFA in studio art, she attended The Leo Marchutz School of Painting and Drawing in Aix. In the 80s and 90s she had her studio at the Château Noir, where Cézanne had his studio. In 2006 Jill was the Cézanne specialist for the Smithsonian Institute, when they travelled to Aix for the 100th anniversary of Cézanne’s death. Jill’s work is part of the permanent collection of the Huntsville Museum of Art, the Spring Island Trust Collection and Sweet Briar College. Jill appeared on “Good Morning America” in its spring feature on Provence in 1995. Noted collectors of her work include: the late Peter Jennings of ABC News; Mr. & Mrs. Benjamin Hardaway III ( Master of American Foxhounds Asso.); The Federal Reserve Bank of Georgia; the l ate Mr. & Mrs. Robert Shaw of The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra; Mr. & Mrs. Douglas C. Billian; the late Mr. Roger Milliken of Milliken Textiles; Mr. & Mrs. James A. Baker, III of Houston, Mr. & Mrs. Dan Amos of Aac and Dikembe Mutombo. What inspired Jill to go to France in 1980 was Cézanne’s Mt. Ste. Victoire paintings. Jill grew up spending her summers at Camp DeSoto on Lookout Mountain. “Love came to me on the Mountain at camp. It reached out to me in song, in contact with nature and in the spirit of others. The Mountain I held in my heart took on a visual and m ystical appearance after discovering Cézanne’s mountain paintings.” Jill was an artist in resident at the VCCA (Virginia Center of Creative Arts) in 2009. Jill has made painting her “habit of being”. Her passion for art, nature and the spiritual side of life is contagious. The artist resides in a restored Provencal home in the countryside of Aix with her sculptor husband and three sons.
