Jill Christian is a visual artist working in Salem, Massachusetts.  She holds an MFA from The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University and an MBA from the University of New Mexico.

Christian grew up in Concord, Massachusetts.  She received her BFA in painting in 1992 from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and shortly afterward moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico. After thirty years in the Southwest, she now lives and works in Salem, Massachusetts.

Having spent time on the water growing up, she finds parallels between the ocean and the great expanses of distance and sky in New Mexico.  Drawing inspiration from rhythms and patterns in the landscape, her work explores the expressive potential of repeated handmade marks, which, like meditation or rhythmic music, provide a conduit to the transcendent.
