Painting & Illustration

In her fine art, Jillian focuses on bodily experiences and dynamics. As a chronically ill, queer, and neurodiverse individual she explores the intersection of pleasure and pain, the joy and sorrow of existing outside of societal expectations and in a differently abled body. Bold blocking and bright colors create partially abstracted pieces influenced by her love of nature, floral career, and pop art.

Interior Decor & Floral Design

With a deep resonance for traditional design and opulent Dutch masters floral still life paintings, Jillian brings an eclectic edge to historical motifs. She creates inviting, layered designs with art, dynamic movement, and saturated colors as key touch points.
