Jill Shields

My name is Jill I am an artist and designer.
I have always had an interest in art and design from an early age.
I studied art and design to become a graphic designer and specialised in Interior design gaining a BA(Hons)

In 2017 After many years of technical drafting and creating Interiors, I went back to my first love painting. My first painting was a portrait of my daughter in a renaissance style move ing to the light.

I am influenced by my surroundings and love portraiture. I am curious the way light and shade creates contours and feature of the face.
I am influenced by renaissance art. The Glasgow girls and boy style and pre Raphaelites art.

My work is detailed sketching of painting. I mostly use acrylic or sometimes oils in my painting using a limited pallet.

I paint what I see and like from portraits, landscape, seascapes and architecture.
