About the Author

Jill Scipione was born in Ashtabula, Ohio, on Lake Erie. She received early art training at the Butler Institute of American Art when her family moved to the Youngstown area, and majored in painting at Carnegie-Mellon University. She lived in Boston, the New York City area, and Pittsburgh before returning to Ohio in the early 1990s. She started working on the Psalms and Prophets series there in a studio-shed with funds awarded through a Pollock-Krasner grant. Her work has been seen in galleries, museums, and art-spaces in New York City, New Jersey, Boston, Santa Fe, and throughout Pennsylvania and Ohio. Scipione began working from museum biology and anthropology collections at the Smithsonian and other museums in the mid-90s, incorporating the imagery into her artwork. In 2007, she began an ongoing drawing study of human skulls of historic peoples from global, anthropological collections. Her most recent series of works returns to forms from Renaissance paintings as their source. She is active as an artist and arts organizer in the NY/NJ metropolitan area, managing the Rainbow Thursdays Artists program for developmentally disabled adults and a drawing program for special ed. students and their families
