About Jill Letten
Jill Letten is an artist based in Hamilton, Ontario. Growing up around a lower-middle class area prominent with industrialized factories and toxic waters, the visible effects of a gradually degrading environment became normalized. Jill explores climate change through experiences and scientific research to understand and address challenging subject matter that is often disregarded or denied in society. Her work manifests itself into acrylic paintings, visualizing environments with realistic and surrealistic elements.
