biography

Jill Louise Campbell, born educated in Quebec in 1951,  went on a study year at the Sorbonne, where she immersed herself in the museums and galleries of Europe. It seemed inevitable, as both an aunt and her grandmother were exhibited artists in Montreal.

artist statement


Resonating with my subject, I paint my yearnings. I have a reverence for life, its rhythm a dance of season, its connected song of celebration. I paint stories with watercolour, oil, gouache and bits of foil and fabric. My art is my illumination. I listen to music while painting, native drum, Indian sitar, reed flute…world music that is the heart beat of our collective soul. I create paintings in one sitting with many hours of intensity that when I realize I am finished I then breathe.

"My art is my joy."  Jill Louise Campbell
