Books

The art of bookbinding and visual storytelling.

With her lifetime love of books and illustrative storytelling, Jill is now immersing herself into this wonderfully creative mixed media process.

She is exploring the many forms the book can present and always enjoys the visual sequencing of her stories. Drawing, printing, stitching drawing and ecoprinting are some of the techniques she uses.

Jill's artist's books are an important component of her exhibitions.

They allow in depth telling of stories with room to explore ideas.

Jill also has in her gallery a beautiful selection of journals

for both gardeners and artists. Or anyone who enjoys writing.
