Jill Ann Harper

Jill Ann Harper is a professional oil painter based in Rochester, Kent, whose work was recently selected, exhibited, and sold at the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition in London.

Known for her striking, clean-lined, and reductionist approach, Jill focuses on key visual elements to create positive, vibrant paintings. She draws rich inspiration from everyday observations – beautifully blending elements like architecture, landscape, and nature into compositions that feel deeply familiar and inviting. Working from her home studio alongside her cat, Jill creates one-of-a-kind oil on canvas pieces. Her highly collectible artworks are held in private collections across the UK, Europe, the USA, Canada, Asia and Australia.
