Jill has earned a living as a teacher, curator, writer, artist, and arts administrator since 2003. She has been graced with the opportunity to travel to Greece, Denmark, China, Japan, and glorious locales within the United States in the name of contemporary craft.

She was the 2015 Jentel Critic at Archie Bray, and was invited to write features on the 2014 NCECA Emerging Artists.
