art delivery : 01.13.24

Layers ‘n layers ‘n layers of loveliness! Today’s member spotlight is shining on the mixed media work of Philadelphia based artist Jill Haas. Her portfolio has been filled nature-inspired abstract work… until rather recently when a bunch of flowers starting blooming! Here’s why:

“Jill Haas grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania where her mother and grandmother painted watercolor botanicals that filled the walls of her childhood home; her grandfather, a botanist by hobby, created new varieties of lilies; and her father taught her how to sail, inspiring a love of wind and water. Her admiration for the natural world is expressed in the plant portraits she creates on canvas and panel. An award-winning animator and illustrator, Haas credits her penchant for using sharp edges and flat shapes to her 30-year career working with digital vector images.”

Oooh, I do love a little behind-the-scenes info! You can follow Jill on Instagram at @jill_haas_painter, and if you’re in Philly, one of her pieces is included in “WILD” — a group exhibition curated by PxP Contemporary — showing at Paradigms Gallery until January 18th.

A few people have asked, so… in case you’re wondering how the ‘member in the spotlight’ gets selected: Every week I chose an artist from my ART DELIVERY subscribers list.
