Jill Meyerhoff

I’ve been a sculptor for 45 years.
Lately I put away the clay and started playing with some vintage oil paints that I found.
I’m hooked.

I’m obsessed with my personal collection of eccentric and nostalgic objects from the past.
There’s so much inspiration there...
From a design standpoint, the 60s and 70s were bold, eccentric and mod.
As a kid, I was mad for those vibrant and electric posters, stickers, cards and soft sculpture.
Those objects decorated my childhood then, and still do...I'm all about the POP.
My work celebrates those fun retro styles that elicit joy and playfulness.
