Artist Profile: Jillian Phillips

There are a few graphic artists out there whose work I truly love and whose skill I covet.  They just 'get me'.

Jill, of Jilly P Graphics, meets my sensibility.  I love the child-friendly whimsy in her work.  I LOVE IT!

I have spotted Jill's work in the Paperchase at Robina. Yeah!

It is always a treat to visit her blog and see what she is up to.  The recent New York photos were heaven and what about those 'puddings' at Bills!  It has been a long time since I lived in England (Henrietta's father is English) but there are still aspects of English life that I miss.  Sometimes, through Jill's work and blog, I am transported to places again. Why not have a treat and pop on over to visit Jillian here ?
