Born and raised in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Jillian Kosmala continually finds inspiration within the beautiful landscape she calls home. After spending three years in Cardiff, Wales earning her BA(hons) of Fine Art, themes of travel and nature are often found throughout the last 10 years of work. Through paint and perspective she often returns to ideas surrounding journeys, memory, light, and the relationship between the viewer and the image. Some of her canvases are even handmade in order to push the experience of the viewer, seamlessly blending painting and sculpture into a single unique encounter.
