Jill’s lovely, soft and brightly colored watercolors and fine line illustrations capture the uniqueness in color, movement, and spiritual presence of nature in the world around us.
Her designs and illustrations adorn greeting cards, gift bags, hardcover books by Gooseberry Patch, as well as a line of story coloring books that have recently been translated into Spanish. She paints and manufactures lines of her own on home décor, such as ceramics, tote bags, and "BathGraphicsTM". She has designed tile trays and related home décor items that are sold in small shops, Seaport Gift shops and stores such as Hallmarks across the country. She has now expanded into custom tile backsplashes and murals.
