I have compiled this book as a tribute to my mother, Jill Paine. It is a celebration of a life that was inspired by nature and spirituality as much as by art... Jill loved life in all its many aspects. She loved her family and friends. She loved the places she lived and the places she visited. She loved the birds and the flowers, the sea and the hills, stones and pebbles, and above all she loved God. This way of seeing life that holds together nature, art and God is revealed in Jill s diaries. A quotation from Froebel at the end of her 1990 diary says, As the spirit of the artist is in the work of art, so is the spirit of God in nature. And it is this vision that transforms Jill s work into a celebration of life itself. Illustrated in colour throughout by Jill Paine s own work, this is a fascinating and informative account of the artist s life.
