About Jillian

Jillian Ludwig received a BFA from Bradley University in Illinois in 2005 and an MFA from Clemson University in 2007.

During her postgraduate studies she taught figure drawing and spent summers juggling artist residencies and art camp tutorship. Ludwig also spent a year in Lyon, France, developing her own creative practice.

The Fam Farm series reflects in a gentle manner the downturn of natural farming in the Western world. In Ludwig’s view genetic modification, factory farming, and misleading labels have resulted in a disconnection between customers and their food sources.

Her work has been exhibited nationwide and internationally.

All I can say is WOW!! I agree with Angie, I'm partial to the butterfly, but, the other is very well done as well. Great job Jillian.

I like it too. It tells a story. A story that I may heard it in my childhood or have never heard about it but makes me go to my imagination. Specially second one.

90% of the ART that has been on this page looks like a tattoo. I would love to see more landscapes and portraits. Hint Hint. Just sayin.

Art of today is climbing the limits and I like what is has produced. This is what we should mean when we try to describe art.The art of yesterday was portraits and landscapes but todays art takes the spectator for the longest ride into the unknown

Would have been great, and really nice, if they didn't have to ruin it by trying to make it "deep" and "profound". I hate that. Art should never be that simple, it's much more complicated than that. There are a thousand things these pictures could mean, some of them contradictory. Great job Jillian Ludwig, bad job www.artistaday.com. just saying, these looked better on my iGoogle homepage without the silly "explanation".

I like it! I love her style of drawing and the contrast, for instance, in the second picture, of the heavy grey rhino and the fluttering light pink balloons and ribbons... I know this is not a very "deep" comment, but I love what Jillian does.
