first nature. It all started when Jillian was about three years old and
would insist on picking out her outfits for preschool. Stripes, circles
,tye die, bumble bee outfits, princess dresses, over the top quinceanera
and all layered over on top of each other. Just the act of making things
beautiful with her own eye fulfilled her greatly even at such an early
age. Whether it was seaweed, or trash, she would always go above and
beyond and commit to the art piece she wanted to make. Currently she is working
hard on installation works in mixed media and ceramics. Jillian has been
attending San Francisco City College and has had incredible teachers as well as
had the opportunity to study with inspiring students of all ages. She will be
entering her first year at California College of the Arts in the fall to
complete her BFA in Sculpture.

of belief.

Inspired by the disorientation of urban life, nature, and popular culture. She is constantly exploring new ways of approaching her work with a love for happy accidents and a passion for visual storytelling, color, texture, type and everything in between.

When she is not in her studio she can be found baking cookies, thrifting, and thinking how deep down, she really want to be a pop singer.
