Meet the artist & maker
Jilly studied Fine Art at Edinburgh University and has worked in creative industries variously as a botanical illustrator, editor, art director and, most recently, a textile artist. Her main focus now is creating quirky, characterful art dolls with unique details, such as pearly kings with button-embellished coats and fearsome pirates armed with silver fish knives. Private commissions give Jilly the chance to research new subjects and to experiment with different materials and patterns.
This is the first year that Jilly Lovett has exhibited at York Open Studios
