Jill Sapiente
(b. Toronto, Ontario | Lives and works in Niagara Region, Ontario)

Jill Sapiente is a Canadian painter whose expressionistic landscapes are celebrated for their emotional depth, vibrant colour, and tactile surface. Working primarily in oils, she creates richly textured works that blur the boundary between representation and emotion—appealing to collectors who are drawn to contemporary landscape painting with a visceral, intuitive edge.

Raised in an artistic family, Jill began painting in her teens and spent many years working professionally as a makeup artist in the beauty industry. Later in life, she returned fully to painting, bringing with her a deep understanding of composition, colour harmony, and creative interpretation.

Her practice is rooted in her connection to nature—often working from field sketches and photographs. Using bold brushwork, palette knives, and nuanced layering techniques, Jill crafts compositions that resonate emotionally while capturing the atmospheric essence of the Canadian landscape.

Over the past six years, Jill has exhibited with the John Mann Gallery, Grimsby Public Art Gallery, Niagara Art Exchange, and at juried events including Pelham Art Festival, Niagara Pumphouse Art Sale, and Artistry by the Lake. Her work continues to attract interest from collectors seeking bold yet meditative paintings that speak to memory, place, and sensory experience.
