Jill Hobson
Jill’s paintings explore human relationships in search of what holds us together. She likes to think of people as vessels of connection, and she shares moments in relationships that range from hopeful and inclusive to fractured or completely missed. In her paintings, the abstracted figures serve as a metaphor for the wider human condition. Jill breaks down the boundaries between the figures, allowing them to merge with each other and their environment. Experimental and intuitive in her approach, Jill paints in layers of mixed water media, using processes like join, share and equalize. She uses imagination, colour relationships, and symbolic elements as a means to connect with her roots, her daily experiences and, most importantly, the viewer.
Jill is a New Zealand-Canadian artist who has recently relocated to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Her formal art training took place in New Zealand, and she has held diverse teaching roles and participated in several residencies around the world. She currently paints for exhibitions and commissions, and her paintings are held in international private, corporate, and public collections. If you're interested in a commissioned work, don't hesitate to get in touch with Jill, knowing that there is a list. Jill is happy to be participating in TOAF for her fourth consecutive year.
