Meet the Maker: Art Dove by Jillian Anderson – Soulful Strokes from a Local Australian Artist

There’s something magical about artwork that makes you feel something-and that’s exactly what we felt the first time we laid eyes on Art Dove by Jillian Anderson.

Jillian is a Geelong artist whose work is as calming and graceful as a Sunday morning. Her pieces carry a softness—an emotional depth that’s subtle but powerful, like the hush before a storm or the warmth of a slow sunrise. Each brushstroke feels intuitive, almost like it knows exactly where it wants to go before she does.

Inspired by nature, femininity, and the beauty in quiet moments, Jillian’s paintings sit somewhere between abstraction and memory. Soft pinks, muted greys, and earthy neutrals swirl together to create works that are both grounding and ethereal.

A proud Australian artist, Jillian works under the name Art Dove, a nod to peace, gentleness, and freedom- three things you can’t help but feel when you look at her art. And while her style is deeply personal, there’s a beautiful universality in her work—something that resonates no matter where you hang it or who’s looking at it.

Whether it’s for your home, your studio, or a thoughtful gift, a piece from Art Dove brings with it a story, a stillness, and a whole lot of soul
