Jill Mcvarish
- Jill McVarish in Ketchum works primarily with figurative art to speak of the human experience
- Employs animals and toys as subjects to convey humor or relatable human scenes in an anthropomorphic way
- Favorite subject is children, because it triggers our own inner kid and makes it identifiable
- Inspired by children’s stories, fables, religious art, or the Muppets for ideas due to archetypal characters and themes
- Mission is not to tell viewers something they didn’t already know but more to trigger empathy
