Jill Iliffe

I am inspired by the idea of art being accessible and connecting with other people, which means that my subject matter can be wide, as we are all interested in so many things aren't we? From nature to still life to people, my work takes time and quiet and I think that this shows in the finished pieces. I work in oils mainly, but also in pencil and watercolour. I also show pieces that I have made in fused glass. Working from my studio on the Hampshire/Surrey borders, I have exhibited widely in both commercial and public galleries, including the V&A, museums in Manchester and Rugby, and in many venues with the Society of Graphic Fine Arts and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. Some of my work is portraiture and I took part in 2020 in Sky Portrait Artist of the Year. I studied at the University of the Arts London, achieving an MA in 2009.
