Jill Keller Peters is a colorist whose abstract color field paintings communicate through hue, rhythm, and order. Working in oil on canvas, she choreographs relationships between vivid and nuanced tones, creating geometric compositions that feel both structured and lyrical. Her paintings are rooted in a deep sensitivity to light and to the emotional and spatial possibilities of color.Though abstract, Keller Peters’s work is informed by years of realist landscape painting and photography, as well as careful observation of the natural world. Light functions in her practice as both a practical and symbolic source, shaping paintings that feel radiant, expansive, and quietly celebratory. Through their balance of rigor and sensuality, her works offer a contemplative experience of energy, harmony, and visual delight. EDUCATION 2004, Artist Sabbatical, Strasbourg, France 1996 2003, Studies with master colorist and mentor Susan Sarback, School of Light and Color 1973 Graduate of Brooks Institute of Photography, Santa Barabara SELECTED SOLO EXHIBITIONSSPECIAL EXHIBITS2019 "Atmospheric & Over the Edge", Fulton Crossing - Solo Show, Front Gallery Showcase The La Cream Show, La Crema Estate, Saralee's Vineyard, Sebastopol, CA- Solo Show 2018 "Color Beyond Profusion: an Unexpected Collaborative Surprise", Sebastopol Center for the Arts, (Collaboration with Nishi Marcus) 2018 Small Works Showcase, Upstairs Art Gallery, Healdsburg, CA 2018 "Urban Garden", Solo Exhibit, Fulton Crossing Gallery, Fulton, CA 2018 Exhibitor, Palm Spring Modernism Show, Palm Springs Convention Center 2017 Exhibitor, Palm Spring Modernism Show, Palm Springs Convention Center 2017 "Magic Carpet Ride" solo show, Elle Lui Salon, Santa Rosa 2017 “Reflections and Shadows” juried exhibit, Sebastopol Center for the Arts 2016 Spring Show, The Passdoor 2016 Group Exhibit , “Meet the Makers” Show, The Passdoor 2016 The Landscape Show, Dutton Goldfield Winery 2016 "The Choreography of Color", The Passdoor 2012 "Inverness", Graton Gallery 2011 ARTrails Open Studio 2011 The Gallery of Sea and Heaven, "Out There" 2011 Willow Wood Market, Graton 2011 Art at the Source Open Studio 2010 Quercia Gallery, "10-20-30" Show 2010, Graton Gallery, Art in the Garden 2009 Thos Moser Cabinetmakers, San Francisco, "Prayers to the Sun" 2009, American Impressionist Society, National Exhibit, Denver 2009 Solo Exhibit, Santa Rosa Golf & Country Club 2009 Art at the Source Open Studio 2008 Solo Exhibit, Rochioli Vineyard and Winery 2007 American Impressionist Society, National Exhibit, Chicago 2007 Art at the Source Open Studio 2006 “Explorations in Art and Language” Exhibit, Sebastopol Center for the Arts 2006 “Journeys” Exhibit, Sebastopol Center for the Arts 2005 Art at the Source Open Studio 2004 Art at the Source Open Studio 2004 Susan G.
