It was a wonderful spring day, the gorse was out in full force, glorious riot of colour. Walking down to the sea, excited, expectant, the sounds of the waves coming up like a siren. It was bliss.

The inspiration
It was a wonderful spring day, the gorse was out in full force, glorious riot of colour. Walking down to the sea, excited, expectant, the sounds of the waves coming up like a siren. It was bliss.
About the artist
A graduate of Falmouth College of Art, Jill lives and works in Cornwall.
Whatever her surroundings, they challenge her to translate them, the Cornish coast being no exception - the beauty of the sea is ever changing, holding the promise of freedom...or adventure. During her degree she studied for three months at the Accademia di Belli Arti, Venice.
Since then, she has been further afield to travel in Peru and Mexico, the Arctic - taking her paints with her. In 2005 she went to work as Expedition Artist with Raleigh International in Chile. In 2015 Jill worked on the first International Arts festival in Bhutan, creating a large processional willow sculpture. Travel, different cultures, working with wonderful people have all blended into inspiration for her artwork, and excitement about the world around her. She continues to try to capture beauty within her work, predominantly working in oils, but excited by different media, gold leaf, lino print, fresco. Her art is about the landscape of life in all its forms – it’s fleetingness, it’s poetry, it’s loneliness, and it’s reality.

The Art Post premise is simple
The Art Post is a wax-sealed miniature art gallery right to your doorstep. We're curating and showcasing masterpieces by up and coming artists on postcards. You can either subscribe to our new Emerging Artists edition, or our Sheffield artists edition (where we've been testing the concept!)
You can collect the postcards, frame them (they're printed on high quality card) and of course, send them to friends and family to say a simple thank you or tick all your birthday cards off for the year with a card that can be treasured for life. "I didn't know I needed it, but I'm so glad I found it." - That's a quote from lovely Sal, one of the Art Post's first very first testers.
