Jill Mumford

Jill lives in N.E. Hertfordshire. Next door to the Henry Moore Sculpture garden. She works in her home/studio where she is inspired by nature, colour, space and form. Working mainly in the genre of still life, she looks for both intriguing colour relationships, interesting tonal values and finding abstract forms in the composition.

After her B.A. Graphic Design course at Hornsey college of art she furthered her studies in oil painting at a Slade school of art summer school.

Jill spent three years as Art Director at Polydor records later working as a freelance record cover designer. Originating L.P. covers for artists such as the Who, the Jam, Siouxie and the Banshees, XTC and many more.

Jill spent several years in the eighties as a scenic artist, working on films, TV commercials and pop videos. The most memorable being Derek Jarman’s “War Requiem”.

Jill has exhibited in a wide range of group shows both nationally and internationally.

Jill exhibits regularly with the Cambridge Drawing Society and Hertford art society.
