Hello, I'm Jill Griffin, an artist living and working in South Devon of England.
I have been painting and drawing for as long as I have been able to make marks, working primarily in watercolour, which I adore. I love it's unpredictable nature and often choose to work on rough handmade paper which makes it even more so. I love the translucent quality of this medium, but have also been known for pen and wash work and pastels. I have an eclectic style and am drawn to paint all sorts of things, from sea shells, to gardens, animals to abstracted town scapes. I also love to hide secrets and surprises in my work and am currently enjoying including family and friends in my 'Surprises' series and find inspiration from lots of things, the countryside, amazing trees, the coast, natural objects and the sculptural works of Rodin.
My paintings have travelled all over the world to new homes, which is always humbling but is a lovely feeling.
I exhibit my work here in Devon, In the Southwest  west of England, at various locations and I founded a group of exhibiting artists (@DevonArtPop # devonartpop) and am also a tutor to a number of lovely private watercolour students.

My mantra is 'share and enjoy'
