Interpretation Representation Intuitive… these are words Jill Mulligan uses to describe her evolving style of work on Fermanagh’s diverse landscape.

 The artist’s aim is to create compositions that capture mood and atmosphere that is quintessential to Fermanagh.

 Using oils, Jill creates layers of flat colour with linear graphite lines defining field, mountain and road. Even more, my purpose is to push the boundaries of the oil, at times thinning them to mist like watercolour, creating a softness in the compositions against bolder flat areas of shape.
