BoldBrush Recommends: Jill PearsonGet Notified When Jill Posts New Art BiographyJill Pearson (BFA, UArts) is an award winning abstract artist that began her career over twenty years ago as an illustrator and graphic designer. Her digital collages appeared in numerous publications and were exhibited in shows at New York's Society of Illustrators. Missing the tactile nature of paint, she began creating abstract mixed media paintings as a respite from the computer and demands of commercial art. Eventually shifting her career entirely to fine art, her colorful work has been included in many juried shows across the Philadelphia region including Historic Yellow Springs, Wayne Art Center, Goggleworks and more. She has received a second place abstract award and two finalist awards from the nationally juried Boldbrush Art Contest, and was awarded first place mixed media in the Lititz Outdoor Fine Art Show. Jill lives in suburban Philadelphia with her family and works from her home studio. Artist Statement I have been working with layers in some form throughout my art career. As an illustrator, I created my work by building layers of scanned objects, photographs, drawings and magazine clippings in Photoshop. Eventually I discovered that I liked playing in Photoshop more than following the sketch I had created for the art director. My abstract work is created using acrylics, collage and drawing media. Layering still remains key to my process, but with no undo button or the ability to save multiple versions, many of my pieces end up going through huge shifts until the final piece emerges. I may lightly paint over an area so the previous layer peeks through, and sand back another area to reveal what was hidden beneath or to create interesting textures. Working out the colors and composition directly on the canvas allows layers to build up and create a rich history and depth that I could not achieve if I started with a preconceived plan. Often inspired by nature, each piece invites the viewer to make their own connection to an imaginary landscape. FASO Loves Joe Kronenberg’s oil paintings!
