About Gill's work
Gill works in a wide variety of media including Artists' Oil Colour, Artists' Water Colour, Designers' Gouache, Artists' Acrylic Colour and Black Indian ink, exploring largely landscape and seascape. Gill is very much inspired by a passionate attachment to the coastal landscape in which she grew up and is very much apparent in her work. Also, being a keen guitarist, Gill is drawn to music and musical performance as a constant and powerful source of imagery in her work, seeking to discover visual equivalents, metaphors for the deep response music evokes.

Gill uses Winsor & Newton because the "consistent excellent quality of the materials and their infallible reliability in handling is of paramount importance when working professionally - added to which, the oils are superb, the watercolours have glorious colour saturation, the gouaches packed with pigment and punch and the acrylics have a satisfying rich palette -they are just a joy to work with."
