Jill Midthune is an abstract painter based in coastal Delaware. Her formal art training includes college-level art courses, a year of abstract painting classes at the Delaplaine Arts Center in Frederick, Maryland, and several years of private study with Baltimore artist Katie Pumphrey, focusing on acrylic painting techniques.
Early influenced by the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, she later found lasting inspiration in the Abstract Expressionists. Since retiring from her career as a psychiatrist in 2021, Jill has devoted herself fully to developing her own expressive visual language. Her work explores the dialectics between chaos vs structure and internal vs external experience.
