THE ARTIST PROFILE
About Jillian K Mitchell
All my life I have loved making things and making them beautiful. As I child I enjoyed and mastered many traditional crafts but painting became my favorite. I went on to study Art at UNH, graduating in 1994, and have focused on painting whatever I could get my hands on ever since.
For more than twenty years I’ve been using my talents in homes, businesses, on theatrical stage sets, and film sets. I can change the color of a room or give you a view in a room where there isn’t one. Would you like birds flying on the ceiling or an owl in a night sky? I can do that. I make floors look like marquetry and walls look like brick. I’ve painted many wooden surfaces to look like various types of stone like granite, marble or onyx. I once painted a marble counter to look like wood. I also do gilding, custom stencils, and refinish furniture.
In between projects, I still find time to work in the studio on my own paintings.
I was born and raised in NH, but now happily reside in NC. I have a wonderful man, two cats, twelve gray hairs, a lot of books, and a magic closet. I dream of an island where it never snows.
