Jill English began painting at the age of three. Her mother was an oil painter and art teacher. Jill never missed an art lesson or opportunity to assist her mom. The earliest paintings by the young apprentice were seascapes, floral still life and the various compositions that her mother was using to teach.
Jill will joke and tell you that she became an abstract artist simply because she could not bring herself to paint another still life of mums… ever! Heading in the opposite direction and style from her roots, Jill found a niche in the world of abstract art.
Most all of her paintings are large in scale. The smallest pieces are 24” X 48” with only a very elusive few paintings in existence that are smaller.
