Condensed Biography of Jillian Ludwig,

Jillian, originally from Darien, Illinois graduated with a bachelor of fine arts degree in 2005 from Bradley University in Peoria, IL. She was awarded a full tuition scholarship to Clemson University in SC, and received her master's of fine arts degree in 2007.  During her time at Clemson she taught figure drawing during the academic year, and spent her summers juggling between artist residencies and teaching at various art camps.
In 2008 Jillian moved to Austin, Texas where she was an adjunct instructor at Baylor University, Texas State University and the Art Institute of Austin. Believing she had been well introduced to private and public universities as well as the art institutes, Jillian decided to move to Lyon, France for a year to build her studio practice. Along with making work in her tiny studio apartment, she traveled, mostly throughout western Europe, and ate every local pastry possible.
Jillian's work has been exhibited and published internationally. Recently she has exhibited at the Manifest drawing gallery in Cincinnati Ohio, as well as the Black Walnut Gallery and Anode Gallery in Chicago, IL. Her work is represented by Swarm Gallery in Oakland California.

Jillian is temporarily living in Lafayette Indiana where she continues to make work and bounces between odd jobs to keep her drawing habit afloat.
