About Jann Hill

Hello. Thanks for visiting.

Through my art, I aim to share a sense of connection, renewal and wonder in the natural world.

I’m an abstract botanical artist, based on the Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne

Creativity, painting and experimenting has been a thread running quietly through my life, keeping me grounded and inspired. Both my untamed habitat bush garden and my art practice are alive with texture, colour and a certain wildness — a reminder that nature thrives when given space.

My mixed media work, spanning painting, collage, paper sculpture and kinetic art, is shaped by my fascination with the intricate patterns and structures found in the natural world – especially the beauty and complexity of Australian native plants and the bushland that surrounds us.

My art process replicates the philosophy of garden rewilding: limited intervention, accepting a certain level of wildness and untidiness. Fluid watercolour layers contrast with sharp, intentional collage elements, blending organic and geometric forms, echoing the tension and harmony between freedom and control.

Underlying all of this is a deep respect for the natural environment and a desire to restore what the modern human footprint has damaged. This philosophy is woven not only into my art, but also into my hands-on volunteer work at a local Indigenous nursery and the care I put into my rewilded bush garden.
