Jill Noss died in January 2011. We're saddened to lose this friend and fellow artist. This year, her house will host a retrospective exhibit and sale of her work, with proceeds going to Jill's granddaughter's education fund.

While growing up in Northern Ohio, Jill was fortunate to have parents who were creative. Her father was an accomplished woodworker and both parents painted. Summers were spent at summer camps, which had excellent programs. Horseback riding and arts and crafts were Jill's favorite activities. She was introduced to many different materials, and occasionally won awards for her work.
Jill attended the Rhode Island School of Design for the freshman foundation course, and later completed the diploma program at the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston, majoring in photography. She enjoyed the immediacy of that image making process, and worked in that field for many years.
After 8 years as the director of the Horse Program at the Putney School, Jill started drawing with pastels again, and painting animal portraits on small pine boxes. Having lived in Vermont for 40 years, this landscape became her home. She was continually inspired by her surroundings and its inhabitants.
