A single artist gallery on one of Canada's Gulf Islands. Really an Art Lovers Getaway. Jill travels and paints in various parts of the world. She has many collections on her website and over 300 paintings currently in print. Jill has had galleries of her own for more than 20 years. Her personal gallery on Salt Spring Island is definitely the best place to view her art plus have a chance to meet in person. She paints primarily in watercolour but that tends to be just the start as she then incorporates prayer flags... Pen and ink... Gold leaf and whatever gives the effect she is seeking. Always vibrant and uplifting.The gallery is now open daily in the summer and three days a week the rest of the year.
