bio: Jillian was born where the north Cascade Mountain range ends and the desert gorges of Eastern Washington begin. most of her childhood was spent avoiding bullies, eating apples, and looking for pots of gold rumored to be hidden along the great Columbia River Valley. She picked up a pen at an early age and still has not found any reason to put it down.
on the importance of art:

It is silly to think our thoughts are so simple they can be translated exclusively using words or gesture. Society needs art to know that there is another way to share the thoughts that escape our comprehension and appear in a language that needs no other interpretation other than fondness or disregard. We need it to feel something when we are unable to listen anymore.
