Jillaine Jurchuk

Jillaine Jurchuk Description

The creative flame that came into this world whom we know as Jillaine Jurchuk, began her mortal adventure and spent her formative years in rural Ontario. Honouring the artistic muse that has shaped her life experience since she first picked up a crayon, Jillaine discovered that interior design provided her with a meaningful and practical expression of her artistic gifts, graduating from studies in this discipline in 1999.

After graduating, Jillaine followed the call of the west, settling in Calgary, where she continues to flourish and evolve as a working artist. After 18 years of building a remarkable portfolio of projects significantly shaped by her gifted approach to interior design, 2011 was the seminal year in which Jillaine’s expanding talent could no longer be contained in and defined exclusively by this creative career path, and she emerged on the art scene, where she is blossoming as an artist in her own right, with a unique style that continues to develop a strong following. The magic of her gift is discovered in her ability to create works of striking beauty through the fusion of photography and painting. Each piece has its genesis in an original photograph in which Jillaine has captured a rare moment in which mother nature shares a spontaneous revelation of exquisite beauty, for those with eyes that see and hearts that feel. This visual image of transcendent is then placed in the nurturing oyster of Jillaine’s creative genius, where the application of multiple painting techniques and photographic layers results in the emergence of an artistic pearl of great price, in which the viewer can experience enhanced perspectives range and depth, nuanced tones, and evocative textures found within each piece. The confluence of nature and technology provides the artist with an open palette, delivering endless possibilities and influences that combine to making each piece a unique work of art that will continue to be treasured and revisited, like an old friend with whom we experience constant renewal, comfort and joy.

Jillaine is also a huge supporter of making a positive impact in the world. Not only does she donate pieces and/or her time to various organizations and committees, she also takes a percentage from pieces sold and donates to the charity/fundraiser that touches her heart for that year.

Currently, her work graces the walls of many private and corporate collections throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, and New Zealand.

Jillaine Jurchuk Statement

It is my belief that beauty, along with the gift of giving, is an authentic human want for a happy and healthy life. With that intent in mind, I passionately bring forth pieces that further challenge the opening of our eyes to the limitless possibilities that surround us each and every day while leaving a legacy.
