Jill Hackney grew up in New Orleans and attended the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts before coming to LSU to earn a BFA in painting and drawing.“ Taking a holistic approach ot subject matter, I find inportance in not only the primary object, but how it is synchronized with space surrounding it,“ she says of her work.“ Finding an importance in creating art which compels the viewer to visualize beyond the borders, I compose a vignette with a sense of a broader environment.” In Baton Rouge, the broader environment in which to find works by Hackney is Ann Connelly Gallery.
