Jill Meager, Mixed Media Artist

Jill’s focus as an artist is on vulnerability, beauty and loss. Raised in rural Scotland, she has always been close to wildlife and wilderness and wants to show the natural world in all its finery, its poignancy and its breathtaking brilliance. Through her portraits, she demonstrate what is at stake if we lose all this through careless human activity.

Jill works across all media and the most important aspect of her drawing is to place a single portrait on the surface, no background, no distraction, just the close-up image looking you in the eye.

Jill shows her work with BobCat Gallery, with The Ashburn Gallery in Devon and with The Darryl Nantais Gallery in Cambridgeshire and in Stirling. She is also a member of ArtCan.

Jill has been shortlisted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, for the V&A Inspired By exhibition, has illustrated a Michael Morpurgo Short Story, and she designs Christmas Cards for two charities; Farms for City Children and InterAct Stroke Support.
