LANDSCAPE – a journey
Jillwilsonart.com

This exhibition is based on aerial to close-up observations of the landscape, with the subject matter ranging from the Greek Island of Skopelos, where I have a house and spend three months of the year living and working, to the areas surrounding Alice Springs to spectacular Rainbow Valley, which holds an ongoing fascination for me. The wonders of Cooper Pedy and Lake Eyre. The exhibition is made up of a mix of media – paintings on canvas and linen using oil and acrylic paint, sometimes building up layers of colour with Sennelier oil pastels and prints ranging from collagraphic monoprints worked over with pastel and paint to original oil based monotypes. I work mainly as a direct response to the environment specifically the colours, patterns, texture and sensual linear shapes of the landscape and use photographs, drawings and memory to make studio work.
