Meet Jill
Beautiful, quietly spoken, and talented, Jill finds joy in painting her country. Born in Wangkatjunka, 100km south-east of Fitzroy Crossing, she paints her country of waterholes, desert and trees.
Taught by her mother, Jill has been painting since she was young and now sells her art at Mangkaja Arts Resource Agency in Fitzroy Crossing.
At Wangkatjunka with her husband Jill raised her daughter and taught language at the community school.
Her favourite bush tucker is conkerberry and she loves to fish for catfish, cherabin and cooking goanna on the fire.
She is looking forward to painting more and watching her footy team, the Wangkatjunka Crows.
