Jill Kimura is an artist best known for her vibrant, abstract paintings created with “oops” paint—repurposed interior latex paint—and her minimalist illustrations that beautifully depict motherhood and the postpartum experience.

Jill’s passion for art emerged early, with her creative journey beginning at the age of three. While painting remains her first love, she has also explored digital illustration, contributing to Good Little Girls Zine, an online women’s publication, and having her work featured in PopSugar and CoolMomPicks.

The transformative experience of home birthing her two daughters, along with her desire to support other mothers inspired Jill to train as a postpartum doula. Though she ultimately chose not to practice, the experience profoundly influenced her artistic direction. She began creating thoughtful digital illustrations that capture the complexity and beauty of motherhood, pregnancy, and the postpartum period. Her designs were also featured on merchandise for Faces of Postpartum, a platform dedicated to amplifying mothers’ postpartum stories.

Recently, Jill has returned to her roots in painting, further exploring themes of motherhood and nature. Through abstract, figurative, and minimalist works, her art continues to evolve, reflecting her deep connection to these universal experiences and her distinctive creative vision.
