Jill lives with her husband & 2 children on a cattle station 20km north- west of Aramac; 140kms north east of Longreach.

“I develop strong feelings for each of my pieces. This is only natural when you spend a large amount of time together. The concept; usually forged as a doodle in a meeting or an image in my mind, would change design, elements & sometimes purpose, many times. 

This process I find “mind maddening” & strangely enough, invigorating. It consumes my every waking moment, distracting me during other tasks, limits my ability to sleep, until at last it comes together.  It is then that I am certain & gloriously relieved, that the piece has reached its absolute full potential.”

Enthusiasm for beauty & form coupled with the pleasure of working with durable metals are the fundamentals of Jill’s work.
