Big thanks to the founders of Sunday Crush: Jane and Jennifer Klementti

Last week two energetic young women walked into the gallery gasping at our space and the art that fills it.  One moment captured by the landscapes of Claudia McKnight, they couldn't help but be distracted every 2 minutes by another piece in the gallery.  After a two hour interview, the girls left with things they just couldn't live without.  Check out the wonderful article they have blogged on Gallery 111.  Come see us Tuesday through Saturday during the winter months to see for yourself.  Feature Interview | Gallery 111

Processed makes the Paper in London

Processed at Claustro Gallery in Midland, Ontario

A big thank you to Joe Belanger of the London Free Press for covering my show at the Art Exchange during January.  Another big thank you to Al Stewart from the Art Exchange for going on Rogers television this morning to promote the work.  For those who missed the opening or hearing about the work, I will be at the gallery this Saturday starting at 2 pm to give an artist talk on the show.

My series PROCESSED is heading to the Art Exchange in London, Ontario

To all of my friends, family, colleagues and collectors in London, I am heading back into town to show my most recent body of work that combines my passion for collage and the human form.  Come to the opening reception on Friday, January 11th starting at 7:30.

PROCESSED by Jill Price
January 8th - 26th, 2012
The Art Exchange, 247 Wortley Road
London, Ontario

Process-ed is a series of mixed media and lightbox works mounted onto retro fabric stretched canvases, that playfully reveals our culture's excess. Much of the work is named after 1960's and 1970's television housewives layering nostalgia and industrialization. Ultimately the work asks us to ponder the value of convenience versus using our bodies to complete simple tasks.

Only two more days til Holiday Shopping begins!

This weekend, an amazing selection of artists and artisans will be set up for an intimate holiday shopping experience at Lover's Creek Art Gallery on Cox Mill Road in Barrie, Ontario.  An Antique dealer will also be on site to help you find the perfect treasure for your collection.  I will have some work on display from my Global Landscape series which is currently hung beside an amazing work by Paul Shilling.  He hasn't even titled the work yet, so I think he should call it "Jill's Piece".  Just having sold my truck and being the closest I have ever been to being out of debt, I know my dear hubby would strangle me if I even look twice at Paul's new beauty!  Nicolee Miller is opening her home to the public both Saturday and Sunday from 10 til 6, but if you want an invite to our private event Friday night, send me an email and I will get you on the list so you can get first dibs on some amazing new work by Mark Hope, John Anderson, Pauline Bradshaw and Gavy Swan.  The Jazz musician and food is bound to be amazing too.
