Jill Brinser

After 28 years of design and advertising, Jill Brinser reinvented herself as a contemporary acrylic painter. In 2019, she rekindled a long-ignored passion for fi ne art. A resident of Elizabethtown, PA, she holds a BFA from Tyler School of Art, Temple University. “Brightly colored photorealistic still life paintings invite the viewer into my world. These larger-than-life paintings are “designed” using a fresh perspective that highlights the quirky details in everyday and pop culture items. With a special focus on metal, glass, and food, the compositions purposely break rules of conventionality. At close look, bits of underpainting show through, revealing layers of saturated paint. Weird refl ections, unexpected colors in shadows and highlights, soft and hard edges and detailed textures work together to bring the objects to life. My intention is to share these slice-of-life interpretations and bring inspiration and a connection to the viewer and their space. Real joy and satisfaction comes when my art stirs a good memory or simply makes someone smile.”
