Jill Dowell's journey toward her career as a painter of fine art began with various forms of artistic engagement and expression. From an early age, she exhibited a great love and talent for music and followed its calling to pursue a Bachelor of Music Degree in Applied Voice from the University of Illinois, studying with the beloved and renowned baritone, William Warfield. Her academic pursuits included the study of French, Italian and German, as well as philosophy - all of which ultimately contributed to the visionary aspects of her creations. Through these experiences, and with the guidance of a beloved art mentor, the stage was set for the blossoming of her personal expression as a painter of fine art. The artwork Jill creates, as an abstract painter, reflects the integration of aspects of sound and color. Rhythm and movement are guiding elements of each composition she creates. Modern and contemporary, Jill's works are both sophisticated and bold, while embracing organic elements. Through the use of vivid colors, texture and movement she follows her intuitive process to bring forth a composition, inspiring a shared emotional response. ​Jill lives and works in Paris, France.
