Welcome!

G’day! Jillian here, artist & founder of dirt road. I’m a self-taught artist with a passion for weaving the beauty of Australia into my creations. From vibrant paintings to intricate charcoal drawings that showcase the rugged charm of our bush, my work is a true reflection of the essence of Australia,

Unapologetically authentic.

Each artwork tells a story, steeped in the rich colours and textures that make my work unique.

I invite you to join me on this artistic adventure. It’s about celebrating the raw, unfiltered beauty of Australia, captured through my eyes and hands. Each piece holds a bit of my heart and soul, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Embrace the raw beauty in every day
