This week on the Bloom Where You’re Planted podcast we sit down with Louisville, KY artist and author Jill Baker.
Jill's paintings are of peaceful landscapes or fantastical imaginary places or things, created in her own style. She travels to New York, France, Italy, Southeast Asia or the Islands to paint and exhibit her work. She has exhibited her collages and oil paintings throughout the world in major venues in Paris (Palais des Congres), Florence (Palazzo Strozzi), Seoul, South Korea (U.S. Embassy), New York (Goethe Haus, among others) and elsewhere.
She also writes and has always used her writing to support her art financially during sparse times. She has published a novel, My Turn, and a short travel book entitled Elba Journal. She has written feature articles for newspapers and popular magazines, including articles on art, religion, the Olympics, homemaking topics and the military among other topics. Her book of poetry is called Poems of Accord.
As an artist, Jill has taught art on the university level for 17 years, and was on the staff of the Art Department at the University of Southern Indiana. She had done numerous illustrations for publishing houses and major magazines and has worked as an artist in Production for newspapers and for Institutional Investor magazine on Madison Avenue, in New York. She has illustrated several books, including a dozen by Lee Pennington
