🎨 Welcoming Back: Jill Annfield
We are thrilled to welcome Jill Annfield back to Art by Night this year! As our only returning artist, stepping in after a last-minute cancellation, Jill was first on our wait list, and for good reason. Her work captivated audiences last year, and we’re delighted to showcase her extraordinary paintings once again.
Jill’s distinguished artistic journey spans decades, continents, and creative disciplines. She trained at Hereford School of Art before progressing to St. Martin’s School of Art and Chelsea School of Art. Her early career saw her making her mark as a fashion artist, producing work for Vogue, The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Mail, and other major publications.
Her career expanded dramatically during her years in Africa, where she embraced full-time painting, co-founded a graphic art agency in Kenya, and contributed editorial illustrations to The Times of Zambia and The Star in Johannesburg.
Upon returning to London, Jill exhibited widely, beginning with the iconic Crane Kalman Gallery in Knightsbridge, followed by Piers Feetham and Russell Galleries in Fulham and Putney. Her creative path later took her to southwest France for three years of painting, before settling in the beautiful village of Noss Mayo, Devon, where she continues to create her atmospheric and distinctive works.
Jill is celebrated for her evocative acrylic paintings of lone houses, churches, trees, and expansive landscapes, compositions filled with mood, quiet drama, and a dreamlike sense of place. Her work is held in private collections across Africa, the USA, France, and the UK, and she is a longstanding member of both The Chelsea Arts Club and the Chelsea Art Society.
✨ We’re so pleased to have Jill Annfield back at Art by Night, come and experience her compelling work once more!
