Originally from England, Jill Carver moved to the United States in 2002 following a twelve-year career as a research assistant at the National Portrait Gallery in London. She now divides her time between Austin, Texas, and Rico, Colorado. Recognition for her work has come quickly, and she has won numerous awards including ‘Artists Choice’, most recently at the Laguna Beach Invitational in 2009 and previously at Telluride in 2009 and at Plein Air Easton in 2008. The Art Academy Museum in Easton, Maryland, has purchased two of her paintings for its permanent collection. A self-confessed ‘addict’ to outdoor painting, she frequently packs up her pick-up truck and two dogs for ‘hunter- gatherer’ painting trips across the West.
In January 2009 the editors of Southwest Art Magazine named her as one of ten artists to watch. They followed up with a feature length article in June of 2010. To view the article click here.
Peter Trippi, editor of Fine Art Connoisseur, named her as one of three artists to watch in the Sept/Oct 2010 issue of FAC. To view that article click here.
In 2009 she was invited as a 'guest artist' to participate in the prestigious Maynard Dixon Country event in Mount Carmel, Utah and in 2010 she returned as an 'invited artist'.
