Studying Mandarin and art at Middlebury College led Jill Madden to some global adventures — studying Chinese ink painting in Taiwan and teaching both Mandarin and art in Alaska. With an MFA from Boston University and a residency at Vermont Studio Center under her belt, the artist has exhibited her work around the U.S., as well as in England and Ireland. She’s now based in Weybridge and returns to the center this month for an exhibition of plein air paintings and collages collectively titled “Woods.” Her artist’s statement explains that the show “celebrates places I’ve come to know intimately over the many years … visiting a small corner of the Green Mountain National Forest.”
