     Jill Finsen’s paintings combine what is familiar and what we imagine. Her paintings evoke emotional responses to the people, objects, and places portrayed through bold colors and textures. Her images invite us to respond with our feelings.
     Earning her Master of Fine Arts in Painting from The New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting & Sculpture, Jill is inspired in her own work by New England-based painters including Maine artists such as Marsden Hartley, William Irvine and Harold Garde. Her paintings have been widely exhibited in Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, New York and Washington, D.C.  Based in Washington, D.C., Jill summers in Brooksville, Maine, and rows on the Bagaduce River, navigating among the seals and lobster pots.
      This is her first book. She had fun making the pictures for it! And she is most appreciative to Susan Finsen and George Kimmerling for their ongoing support and to my favorite lobstering family, the Peasleys—Frank, Hannah, Sophie and Tonyia—for allowing her to get close to the action.     www.jillfinsen.com    

​ Irving Finsen, Jill and Her Favorite Sister Susie, Gloucester, MA, circa 1955.
