Jill D Morton

Nature is a constant inspiration for my art and has a way of captivating me with its wild and intricate essence. I am drawn to natures many forms and seasons with its own unique palette. I love the early violets and soft greens of spring; the summer with tropical like lush greens; wildflowers shouting out a variety of beautiful colors; ocean waves calling me to see its many shades of blue. I hope my painting can serve as a bridge - bringing others closer to the natural world and inspiring them to cherish and protect it.
