About Jilly Henderson

I am a Scottish artist who uses pencil, watercolour and gold leaf detailing. My work is very quirky and I like to study animals, fantasy landscapes and people. 

I used to create monochrome ink drawings but right now I am all about the colour and my palette ranges from mossy greens and golds to sumptuous pinks and delicious peaches!
I also love to write, and as a drawing progresses I sometimes see a story emerge and use words to tell the unique tale of that particular piece which sets it apart from any other painting I will do. I like to add in tiny details with skinny pen nibs  and gold leaf detailing so that as you look into a piece you see more and more tiny hidden gems. 
I have exhibited in galleries, group and solo exhibitions and am currently enjoying exploring the magic of online galleries and how they can make my work visible to a world of art lovers. It's very exciting.

When you place an order I like to make opening the package a treat….I wrap each work in tissue with dried flowers and an authentication certificate to make it a special gift, just for you. 

 
I graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in 1989 and haven't stopped doing art for one moment since.
