Jill Oddities is a multimedia artist with a range of experience in different mediums, acrylic and oil paintings, handmade textile products, and digital art.
Jill has a fondness for the strange and bizarre and it has shaped her creations and philosophy. In many of her paintings, she likes to question what it is that makes us human, through her monsters called "the Creeps" and their comical relatable life experiences. She uses underlying symbolic references in her art, playing with floriography, folktales, and mythology in her paintings as well.
In her textiles practice she is working towards a more sustainable practice by reusing and sourcing local textiles that can be upcycled into new projects.
In her downtime she spends her time gardening and prop building.
She has a diploma in Visual Creative Arts, and a bachelor's in Craft and Design in Textiles, both from Sheridan College. During her studies, she also attained an undergraduate certificate in Creative Problem Solving.
