About the Artist

Jill Whatley Huston is a Texas-based artist and graduate of the University of Houston. Her work is deeply influenced by her years living and traveling abroad. Her time teaching in Singapore and working with a wild animal rescue organization in Thailand fostered a lasting appreciation for Southeast Asian art and culture. Jill’s studies have built a passion for exploring other cultures, ethnicities, beliefs and customs. She describes her work as rooted in nature, drawing inspiration from repetition, texture, and the freedom to create spontaneous organic forms. She works primarily in clay, oil paint, paper and found objects.
