Biography

Jill Sutherland is a versatile multimedia artist and accomplished portrait photographer with a deep passion for human connection. Since 2012, she has used her lens to reveal raw emotion, exploring themes of light and shadow, archetypes, eroticism, addiction, and the longing for inner truth. Her work is a testament to the belief that the more personal the art, the more universal its message.

Emerging from 16 years in industrial metalworking, Jill first honed her craft in an energy-rich, transformative environment that became a path for healing. The loss of her mother led her to embrace feminine energy in her art, infusing her work with compassion, depth, and a search for balance between dualities—masculine and feminine, connection and detachment, structure and fluidity.

As part of Staveley & Sutherland, Jill collaborates on large-scale murals and immersive installations, including Circle of Doors Tarot, an Honorarium Exhibition at Burning Man in 2014 and 2022, celebrating intuition and the divine feminine. Her creative pursuits continue to evolve, incorporating experimental mixed media, photography, collage, and found objects to challenge conventional boundaries.

Whether through intimate portraiture or large-scale installations, Jill’s work invites reflection, conversation, and connection—offering a powerful visual narrative of resilience, transformation, and the beauty of the human experience.
