Meet the Artist
Jill Mayberg
PAINTING
Jill Mayberg grew up in a largely Jewish suburban community in Central Jersey equidistant to NY and Philadelphia. Her mother was passionate about art. Her home had reproductions of Matisse, Picasso, Ben Shahn, Kathe Kollewitz, Renoir, Degas and many wonderful original works that they found wandering around NY galleries and the sidewalks of Greenwich Village.
In the mid nineties Jill transitioned to 2D and specifically painting. Her paintings were hung on the walls of a trade show she was doing in New York and were seen by Mary Lou Zeek who had an eponymous gallery and offered her her first solo show. It was hugely popular and all of her paintings sold. She quit the production wholesale art business to focus on one of a kind painting full time and never looked back.
She has had a lifelong interest in peace and social justice, women's equality, animal rights, the ideas of The Enlightenment and humanist ideals. She believes that art is a universal language that can bring people together, foment curiosity and forge connections.
