Jill Stoll

Jill Stoll's making is profoundly rooted in resourcefulness, as she seeks inspiration from the overlooked abundance of materials, such as cardboard, plastic bottles, and the intriguing cat's claw (uncaria tomentosa). Step into her studio in Arabi, LA, and you'll find yourself immersed in an environment that transcends traditional art appreciation. Her creations resonate with a multisensory experience, engaging all five senses. An artist whose work transcends boundaries, she has never met a medium she doesn't like. Stoll invites the viewer to join her where each medium becomes a unique language, and every piece tells a story of ingenuity, curiosity, and a deep connection to the physical world.

Born and raised in Michigan, Jill attended two of the state’s most celebrated cultural institutions, graduating from Interlochen Arts Academy and earning an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. She has exhibited her work in New York, NY; New Orleans, LA; Atlanta, GA; San Francisco, CA; Santa Monica, CA; Pittsburgh, PA; Sheboygan, WI, and Melbourne, Australia. In addition to being an exhibiting artist, Jill has been teaching for over 20 years, having snagged her first real teaching job in 1999 at The Dalton School in New York City. Since then she has taught in places as diverse as West Texas, Rome, and New Orleans in subjects that range from design, drawing, collage, and darkroom/digital photography.
