Jillian has been a fine art visual artist for over a decade. Growing up in the southern suburbs of Chicago, she has always had a deep appreciation for the city and what it could offer artists. She attended college at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, where she studied and practiced fine art with other young, dedicated and talented artists. She graduated in the spring of 2015 with a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art with a specialization in Life Drawing. 

 

Since graduating, Jillian's career has developed as a freelance visual artist. Her personal work continues to evolve with each passing year and is heavily influenced by the environments she finds herself in. Her work has been featured on various artist websites and in gallery shows throughout the Midwest.  When she is not working on her personal portfolio, Jillian lends her talents as a portrait artist. She's also worked as a painting instructor at a local arts & crafts shop and she continues to participate in art shows and competitions throughout the USA.
