Jill Segal

“For me, painting is a passion, an expression of the joy of life. My acrylic and mixed media paintings express my fascination with the natural beauty of the world around me. They are celebrations of all aspects of life, reflecting the inherent energy in and around us, and the interconnectedness of all things. My style is bold, colourful and expressionistic. I love using collage and other interesting textures, to capture the essence of my subject matter.

I love to travel and have journeyed to many of the sacred sites of the world. These include awe-inspiring places, often designated as "Pilgrimage Sites" where I and others have experienced a feeling of transcendence and harmony with the Cosmos. Many of these sacred sites have intriguing portals and passageways, symbolic of life's cycles and transitions. I have been greatly inspired by the mystical and spiritual energy experienced in these places, also by the ancient carvings and petroglyphs found there. This inspiration is often reflected in my abstract paintings.

My art, like my life, is not about the destination. It is about the process and the journey.”
