Jill Preston is an artist whose work foregrounds the human form, imbued with the textural Scottish landscape surrounding her studio near Glasgow.

Originally she studied sculpture and in recent years has concentrated on fine art, developing her focus on figurative subjects through intensive drawing practice at Glasgow School of Art. This understanding of structure underpins her exuberant pastel works such as Uppsala (2015).

Jill’s work re-presents ‘figures in context’ and continues to explore the integration of her expressive delineation of form with more affective colour work, using photographic images and print-making techniques to enhance her primary medium of pastel.

Her discerning self-portrait Jill+Lydia (2017) simultaneously honours her own mother and references Jill’s Remarkable Women series. This body of work responds to the increasing visibility yet ambivalent public portrayal of outstanding women, and includes Maya (2012) and the widely praised Maxine (2016).

All works are available as Giclée Fine Art Prints on request. They are printed on Somerset Velvet 255gsm 100% cotton archival paper.

A4 prints are £20 (excluding shipping)
