bio

about

Jillian Lee Stocker, professionally known as Jillian Lee, began her art career as an interior

illustrator for design firms in New York to Los Angeles, including several of Architectural Digest’s Top 100.

After receiving encouragement from famed interior illustrator, Jeremiah Goodman,

she expanded into fine art with a broader range of subjects, including abstracts and fashion.

Jillian’s signature style has gained international collectors with her vibrant yet soft approach,

creating texture with her hands, brushes and palette knives. Her use of mixed media has included gouache,

acrylic, oil and wax pastels, tar gel, watercolors, vintage paper and fabrics on various surfaces.

Jillian lives a quiet life in Minnetonka, Minnesota with her husband and two young daughters.

While holding close to her Christian faith and love of history, she aims to illuminate the good, the true and the beautiful.
