Southern Oregon Artists Resource

My artwork is in private and corporate collections world-wide. I am an award-winning artist, past gallery-owner, and my art has been in many exhibitions. I work in various mediums, subjects and types of art and am a member of several art societies, and past member of many more. Please see Jillian's listing in the Teaching Artists directory.

I am an oil painter devoted to animal art. I paint animals that I find amusing or interesting, as well as commissioned pet portraits. My realistic style often uses solid colors or patterned backgrounds for a pop art feel, but I also love painting the faces of animals cropped very closely with no background at all. Many of my works feature animals from local rescue groups; 10% of my sales are donated to Sanctuary One in Jacksonville and Friends of the Animal Shelter in Phoenix.

My paintings tend to revolve around the motion of animal life, horses running, fish swimming, buffalo strolling, and funny birds and bears. My passion shifts from day to day so I never know just what I'll end up with on the canvas. I've just embarked on a new adventure, having taken over a thriving gallery in Ojai, California, representing 10 accomplished artists. Naturally I'll continue to paint new works...just inside the front door of the Trowbridge Gallery, and to stay in touch with my friends and collectors in Oregon.
