Jill Temporal Ba Hons

“Painting and drawing have been my greatest interest and talent since very early childhood. I would spend hour upon hour sketching in my own little world. I can vividly remember being around the age of 6 at school and mixing powder colours in total amazement at the alchemy… it still captivates me now!. I LOVE art, making it, viewing it and discovering it’s History. Whenever asked “what would you like to be when you grow up.?”... it was always an Artist For me!

It is colour which seduces me, how they harmonise and contrast. I paint with thin layers of pure colour glazes from a minimal pallet trying to capture form in a fluid expressive manor using suggestive lines and shapes from my observations to depict the beauty of nature using sumptuous colours. Nature and the natural world around me is my muse. During the Covid Lock down my connection to local wildlife became much more prevalent within my work which has since gravitated towards endangered species and the threatening unease of climate change.

In 2002 Jill graduated with a Degree in Fine Art with honours from Huddersfield University and also achieved a prestigious award of studentship presented to her by Tutor Matthew Burrows.
