Artist Jill Hoy is at a place of artistic integration. She would be the first to say that she benefited greatly from the creative critique she once received from her husband and fellow artist, Jon Imber. When Jon died in 2014 from ALS, Jill grieved not only the loss of her husband but also of her creative partner. That emotional process, occurring over the past few years during which Jill has focused on her art in a new way, has been accentuated by an internal wellspring of knowledge and confidence. Learn more about the impact of this life phase on Jill’s art, as well as Jill’s love for her adopted home of Deer Isle, Maine, today on Radio Maine.
