Jill Stoll merges creativity with a dedication to sustainability, positioning her at the convergence of art and environmental responsibility. Her diverse use of mediums—from drawing and painting to textiles and photography—enables her to craft narratives of innovation and connection. An integral part of her creative process is her sketchbook and collage work, where preliminary ideas evolve into complex, layered projects. Jill's practice is deeply rooted in resourcefulness, drawing inspiration from materials often deemed excessive or unwanted by society, such as cardboard, plastic bottles, and the invasive vine cat's claw in southeast Louisiana.

Her foundation was laid at Interlochen Arts Academy under the mentorship of Lina Dean, where she developed a passion for weaving. Dean’s influence not only refined Jill's technical skills but also enriched her artistic ethos.

Before earning her MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art, Jill designed window displays at the corporate headquarters of Neiman Marcus in Dallas, Texas. As a young designer in New York, she freelanced across the city at renowned retailers like Bergdorf Goodman, Henri Bendel, and Barneys New York. Having worked in diverse locales for over the past 20 years, she now mentors young creatives at Tulane University School of Architecture as a Professor of Practice in Design. In her teaching, Jill continues her exploration of pattern and structure, connecting traditional weaving techniques with modern digital design.
