About

I am blessed doing what I was created to do. I believe there is basically no difference between a blank canvas, blank wall, blank screen or a blank object. One day while painting a mural, I simply thought that “every surface is a canvas”. I could be on a scaffold, at an easel or on a computer and my objective is always the same. To create on whatever or wherever.

I feel as if I've never left the classroom because with every person or circumstance, I never stop learning and expanding my God-given skills. It’s a wonderful life and not many are as fortunate to say, "I love my job."

Jil Gordon expresses an obvious passion for detail, color and intensity within all her paintings, illustrations and graphic design.

An effortless blending of distinctive techniques and specialized skills gives her a unique edge in whatever and wherever she creates.

In the private or corporate spectrum, Jil's vast scope of work and creativity has transformed places, captured memories and catapulted businesses, nationwide.

When very young, her initial inspiration was that of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel. From there her artistic path evolved through concentrated art curriculums, earning a Fine Arts degree from the University of Michigan and the influence of her large creative family. Originally from the Midwest, she ventured west to Silicon Valley, returned to her Midwest roots and then shifted life and creative pursuits to the Southeast in Delray Beach, Florida.

Jil admits the core sources for support, motivation and inspiration to be her family and faith. And she favors the colors of yellow and blue.

Every surface is a canvas. TM
