About
Jillian Katz is a Canadian artist and graphic + service designer. Self-portraiture has been her preferred method since childhood to process her humanity in relation to a world that can often (sometimes all at once) feel like friend, stranger, and foe.
Her process is slow, and she tends to require multiple projects to feel meaningfully engaged in creative practice. While she is Toronto-born, Jillian currently resides in Los Angeles. The sunshine called...you understand.
