Notes
Jilly began as a specialist wall painter in London in 1986. In 1995 Jilly added oil and water gilding to my repertoire and then, in 1999, she was accepted into Il Laboratorio Per Affresco at Figline de Prato, Italy. She studied fresco under the maestro Leonetto Tintori for an academic year, during which she discovered the technique of Scagliola. Subsequently, she continued to learn and work in the studios of two of the main contemporary Scagliolists in Florence and Rome. Since then, she has worked from home in France and Italy, where she now lives.
