Fun and Funky Book Forms! with Jill Osgood
Luther Bonney Hall 424
Jill Osgood Bio: Jill Osgood was born in a small New Hampshire town in 1960. Growing up in the woods of New England, her parents instilled within her a sense of wonderment and respect for the natural world that has guided her perspective as a human being and defined her work as an artist.
In 1980 she moved to Portland, Maine to attend art school. She has lived and worked in Portland ever since, continuing to make art and growing deeper roots in Maine. After 39 years, this past spring she received her BFA with honors from the University of Southern Maine with a concentration in painting and a minor in book arts.
