Web Presence - Sorted. My own website.
I'm lacking in my web portfolio rather, in that I do not have a domain or my own website. I want to consolidate my existing presence, Facebook, Twitter, Artfinder, PATREON, Pintrest.....etc on a proper website with my own domain. I'd love to include e-commerce on this so that I can offer my Patrons deals and vouchers to spend on my work. I want to share my work and stories with a wider audience and this would in turn keep us all connected...better! Of course I can also cross promote my colleagues too. I'm looking forward so much to this chapter of my journey, thanks for being part of it.
Plein Air Alaska painting retreat- Voyage of learning with some wonderful artists
So this is the big dream goal...I have been friends with a number of artists (the Painted Ladies oh lala!) who run amazing plein air painting retreats in Alaska, I know how much it would help me develop my skills and encourage the landscape artist within, but most of all to share time and experience with this group of brillaint artists would teach so much...I am but dreaming but hey! even the longest journey begins with a small step eh? Perhaps you could help me along on that road.
To go full time pro.
That's it...to quit the day job and say 'yes' to being a full time artist. Buying me time will allow me to paint more, market more, exhibit more- all of which in turn will provide a living wage. It will also mean more time to share work with you my wonderful patrons...
About
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'

Hello! Thank you for looking.
Watercolour? Watercolor?....whichever way- it's gorgeous!
I live and breath watercolour: I just cant help myself, despite watercolour being the hardest of media to master- probably! And I can honestly say that in the 30 years (and more!) that I've been practicing, I have never stopped learning, how exciting is that?
You can see my Online Gallery here to see exactly what I get up to!
I am also a big sharer, sharing art is fundemental to who I am.
The best thing ever, after the thrill of selling my work to lovely collectors, is tutoring watercolour students who's testimonials have been so humbling...and heartwarming.
In 2013 I founded DevonArtPop- a pop-up gallery group of artists who collaborate to exhibit our work which is alot of fun but there is no budget whatsoever and we rely entirely on the generosity of our fantastic host venues. Each Popup we do is a joy, to share and meet new people and to inspire.
So what do I want?
- to share my work with a wider audience
- to collaborate with more artists to make things happen together in our fine art world
- to devote my time to expressing the world as I see it,
- to encourage my students to develop their own skills and artistic practice
Like many artists I also have a day job, and my aspiration is to one day...in the not too distant future, be able to make a living wage from my art and say ' YES, I am a full time artist'.
Supporters, just like you, are making this happen. You are a true human doing...not just being.
I want you to be in 'My Crowd'...will you join me?
for less than the price of a cup of coffe a month
Hop on board the Jill Wagon, join the Griffin Train! I'd love to make your acquaintance and share with you my artistic journey- together.
What's in it for me?
The amazing feeling of being part of a Crowd, helping, nurturing and growing. Knowing your gift is not just adding to the sum of the parts, but being an actual part in my art practice.
This is what Fabulous Patrons, just like you , are getting back from me:
-I also am a Patron, to wonderful artists who inspire me, encourage and support me, so your pledge doesn't stop at my door...it goes right on giving.
-Because I run a monthly campaign you don't have any uncertainty about how much you are spending this month, and that all my posts- and I post frequently are yours for the enjoying!
- Being a sharer I'll be sending you art goodies from time to time, whether it's because you've won them in my regular giveaways or simply because I want you to have something special
- all my Patrons can access at least 20% off any painting listed in my store
- Patrons also get downloads of my work to use at home, work or play
- you can buy my original paintings at a discount with my instalment programme
I hope we can do great stuff together, and have a brilliant dialogue along the way.
Stay in touch!
Jill
