Welcome and thank you for viewing my portfolio! I am Jill Sakemiller the face behind Caprella Fine Art. I am an American born self taught artist, having lived around water and warm coastal areas for most of my life. I’m drawn to water and nature and I love the mesmerizing movements of the light and reflection that play upon the water. Nature is always awe inspiring with it’s lush beautiful colors of the landscapes, and I find that buildings are land sculptures with their unique patterns and textures in the architecture that you don’t always notice. I admire other art styles such as impressionism, surrealism and abstract. A few of my favorite artists are Monet, Van Gogh, and Picasso. Though I’m a realist painter and through trial and error I strive to create photo like images as it really appears in life. My paintings are a celebration of color and light with a connection to the land and positive energy, and if my art can evoke feelings of excitement and happiness that hold the viewers attention even briefly, then it makes it all worth the effort.
