Discover the Creative Journey of Jill Austen
About Jill Austen
Jill Austen lives a multidisciplinary life, embracing creativity through music, art and poetry. To this end she has created Austen Academy, offering a series of integrated arts workshops which explore individuality and the creative process. Jill holds degrees in music from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and the University of Minnesota, where she also studied visual arts and art history. She is a juried associate member of the Pastel Society of America. As both flutist and visual artist she has enjoyed residencies,
performances and exhibits throughout the US, Mexico and the Caribbean. Teaching opportunities have taken her to Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and the College of the Bahamas in Nassau. Her inner vagabond is happy to call New York City home. Jill's poetry was first published in Leaf Garden Press in 2009, and more recently in About Place Journal, Mom Egg Review and Blue Door Quarterly. A Comfort of Hummingbirds, her first poetry chapbook awaits publication.
