Jill Jordan Rowe's Orb World - About the Artist

About the Artist

The concept of telling a story in one static frame is the challenge of two dimensional art. I use a hybrid of painting and photography in my approach to this challenge. Drawing and painting digitally, combined with photo compositing, are the tools I use to give meaning to a single frame of time. My imagination is where I conceptualize my thoughts and ideas. I can experiment and explore endlessly. I like to dig deeply into that realm where anything is possible. Surprises and revelations are abundant and preconceived notions are often replaced with unexpected outcomes.
The recurring themes in my images reflect my curiosity in all things pertaining to existence, the notion that everything is connected, and my appreciation of the natural world. That, and my fascination with orbs--circles of light, so simple and complicated, they find their way throughout my work.
The Gallery contains a selection of the results of my imaginings. I invite viewers to go there and browse, and perhaps discover your own meaningful interpretation.
Thanks for stopping by...
