Jill Moser  

Jill Moser is an American abstract artist whose work explores the intersection of "painting, writing and the animated image." She lives and works in New York City. Moser earned her B.A. from Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, in 1978, and her M.F.A. from Hunter College, New York, in 1981. She has been awarded a New York Foundation for the Arts Painting Fellowship and a Max Beckmann Scholarship in Painting from the Brooklyn Museum. She has taught at Princeton, Virginia Commonwealth University, and several other prestigious institutions. Moser has exhibited extensively around the world, including at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. Her work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art New York, the Art institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Seattle Art Museum, and many others. Moser has an interdisciplinary practice that includes painting, printmaking, drawing and collage. Her printmaking includes a diverse array of techniques, such as lithograph, etching, monoprint, intaglio, and screen printing. Her work can be understood in relation to the history of written language--marks that carry meaning.Her brush marks are lyrical, gestural and calligraphic.
