Gallery

Jill very much enjoys creating work for exhibitions. The challenge, the focus, the discoveries and learnings are rewarding and necessary for her creative soul.

Each season in her gallery at Garden Studio 70 Jill presents a new collection of works. See Special Events Page for details of these exhibitions.

In the gallery you will delight in the creative range of her hand bound books, leather bags, jewellery and mixed media works on paper...

"AN OPEN BOOK"

My visual writing style is to...

Walk, see, photograph, edit, deconstruct, reconstruct, draw, wash

Images of Griffiths Island

Wait, see, forage, dye, press, enhance, draw

The seasonal leaves in our garden

Travel, explore, take time, feel, photograph, stitch draw

Remote and historical towns

My forever process is entrenched in ...

Learning, selecting, layering of diverse techniques

The format of this exhibition is of books that are multi dimensional

They can be viewed in many ways....

One page, one chapter, vertical or horizontal, and in alternate reverse view

It is an open book

There are many chapters in the making of this series

And there will more to come

Each book has its own custom made box

Raw

A very popular range of Australian leather bags.

Loads of character, tough and practical.

All sold at the moment. More coming soon.

Brooches.

Each of my brooches is stitched or wired one bead at a time, rhythmically and decisively. Each one evolves in the making and so is always original and definitely a one off. This ensures that the next one I make is a joyful new discovery!!
