Meet Jill

berkshire artist

Artist since childhood,
but a calling that’s transformed
throughout the years.

You could simplify the path of many artists as a childhood hobby that became a life’s passion, but the journey is always much more interesting than that.

Let me help you create an enjoyable art practice of your own!

Take a class with me:

+ SkillShare

+ Etchr Classes & DEMOS

+ In Person Classes

I think this style of class, where the actual THINKING and reasoning for doing things is explained, rather than a step-by-step tutorial, is SO much more helpful in the long run!!
