Jill Basham LIVE Painting Demonstration

Maryland-based artist, Jill Basham, will be painting LIVE at the gallery on Sunday, June 22nd from 12pm – 2pm. The demonstration is free to attend and all are welcome!

About the Artist:

Jill’s work is typically quiet, often with muted colors and purposefully simple design. She is dedicated to conveying the light, atmosphere, and “feeling” of the landscapes she paints, whether natural or manmade, and wants to evoke an emotional reaction. Basham paints in her Maryland studio near the Chesapeake Bay, as well as outdoors, in locations both far and near. She is comfortable allowing each painting and its subject to lead her on an exploratory, experimental journey, as this approach often yields the most unexpected and visually exciting results.

Basham has been consistently drawn to expansive, atmospheric views; whether it’s observing Paris from above or looking out from a mountaintop in Georgia. “I have always preferred the window seat on a plane, and consistently seek mountain vistas and views from the tops of buildings. Many people experience this birds eye perspective, yet often overlook its unique beauty. I am thrilled to share that.”
