BIOGRAPHY

Jill DrawsJill Caporlingua's painting has progressed in stages over the past 20 years, from pure abstraction to classical drawing, but a continuous theme contemplating science and the human body forms a common thread. Most of her work is in acrylic and oils and utilizes a bold color palette.

Jill spent five years teaching drawing and painting at the Academy of Art located in Highland Park, New Jersey. She now gives private art lessons and group art lessons in Highland Park, NJ.

Jill is currently represented by Alfa Art at 108 Church Street, New Brunswick, NJ. You can visit them at www.alfaart.org
