Local Watercolorist Jill Ingram Uses Art to Depict Life on the Farm

DAYTON - For watercolorist Jill Ingram, who grew up on a farm and married a farmer, art is as much of her life as wheat and pigs. The daughter of Dayton artist Iola Bramhall, Ingram dabbled with painting and drawing throughout her childhood, but things became more serious when she turned to art as part of her healing process after a horse accident.

Ingram has made a name for herself in the art world. For several years she operated Jill Ingram Watercolors in downtown Dayton and sold her work nationally and internationally through galleries in Seattle and Spokane as ewll.

Ingram is the featured Pacific Northwest Art Event artist from Mon., March 14 through Sat., April 9 at the Wenaha Gallery, located at 219 Main Street in Dayton.

There will be an artist’s reception on Sat., March 19 from 104 p.m. at the gallery. The public is invited to meet and greet the artist and enjoy free refreshments.
