Hi, I’m Jill, Life Coach, Artist and Writer.

As a relatively new artist, I’m drawn to exploring our intuitive connection within the process of creating; bringing out of the inner mind, images, feelings - whatever is inside us. My art tends more to the abstract or semi-impressionistic, touching on the real world, but ending somewhere else. Working often in watercolours and inks, I love to see where the image starts, and discover what choices come up as the mark making reveals a known or unknown image. Seeing where my intuition takes the image can be both frustrating and liberating.

I especially love the freedom of mixed media: watercolour, inks, the immediacy of pastels, the commitment of permanent ink, collage and all manner of mark making tools. I have come to embrace the journey of expression, not knowing where it will end up. My love of nature draws me to her elements – especially her trees - her rocks, ferns, florals, in landscape and close-up forms.

My Passion as a Life Coach is to help people connect with, create and live their purpose. Teaching my clients to connect with their own intuition features predominantly in this work. Bringing my art and Life Coaching together, I am exploring how the process of creating art helps us to know our inner depths, maybe heal our ‘stuff’. I am especially interested in helping other artists explore their inner world (thoughts and emotions), and how it affects their creative, personal and business lives as an artist.
