Jill Sellers (Jill Sellers Design)
|
Jill Sellers was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan beginning her career as an artist
commissioning pencil portraits and drawings part-time after moving to Winnipeg from an
early age. Acquiring various drawing classes she proceeded to explore a variety of
mediums including watercolor, pastels, oils and airbrushed acrylics. She then continued
her studies with a wide-range of art history, mainly focusing towards the masters and
their techniques. In 2005 she was presented an award for one of her acrylic paintings that
was a period of a historical study collection.(Picture displayed below)
Achieving many successful art shows throughout Jill’s career you’ll find her exquisite
work in private homes and galleries locally and abroad.
Expanding the Canvas
In 2001 Jill began studying graphic design and around the same time launching her career
of painting on large surfaces. Some of her Mural work still exists on walls throughout the
city.
Her public, Mural artwork in Winnipeg is amongst the best in the city if you examine her
body of work, you’ll quickly see why.
Others have made comments to this writer regarding the quality of Jill’s Murals with
phrases like:
- ‘puts some kind of etheric soul into her painting’
- ‘Her Murals are soft, gentle and moody, and yet very real. She makes hard stone look
like silk.’
- ‘beautiful, evocative’
- ‘well-drawn and eye-catching’
- ‘soothing in its colors and tranquil setting’
Further Studies
Jill acquired the Architectural drafting program at RRC in 2008 and the Graphic Design program at RRC 2014.
Jill Sellers lives in St. James with her life partner, Darryl.
