Jill trained as a mature student in both art and textiles: in her first year she was awarded 'Student of the Year'.
She works in both glass and textiles and finds both processes have a common link. Layers of materials are manipulated, often revealing glimpses of unexpected underlying surfaces. One of her main aims is to combine successfully both of her chosen materials within one piece.
Jill produces decorative pieces, often inspired by nature, and shows no fear of working with both strong colour and texture.
