Jennifer Gill

Jennifer spent her formative years moving to different parts of the world -- India, New Zealand, the US -- with an artist mother and an architect father. Traveling inspired an interest in language; her first degree was in French and Italian and Paris was home for many years.

She studied at Central St Martins for a second degree in Fine Art where she specialised in mixed media and printmaking. Technical innovations, specifically in the use of photographic imagery, resulted in complex, multi-layered imagery. 

This year she returned to a more direct, hands-on method of image making: lino printing. She spent time researching Tomoo Inagaki and Kaoru Kiyoshi, Japanese artists whose graphic woodblock prints and muted colours were popular in the 1950s.
