I’m Jill Tattersall, mixed media artist. I used to live in Brighton and, before that, the Midlands. I now live in York. I’ve taken part in and helped to run local Open Studio events for many years and had many solo and group exhibitions. My work’s in collections all over the world, from Peru to Tasmania! Some in the most interesting places….

I work from my home studio, the Wolf at the Door (yes, there is a Wolf, a very large one made of recycled materials by sculptor Iain Tatam). I experiment with ideas and materials and techniques in order to create work that speaks to people and makes them look, think and, I hope, enjoy. Experiment means risk – each piece courts ruin at any stage – but work that is too safe can be a little boring….

Colour, light, intensity, flavour, meaning – these are what count. I used to be a singer, I adore cooking, growing plants, food – all these things are interrelated for me. I also love collaboration, co-operation and interaction; they bring hope and pleasure in difficult times.

Fairly regular updates via my Wolf newsletter. You can sign up here; I promise you won’t get pestered with umpeen bulletins! Link via any newsletter, e.g. here :
