Jill Steenhuis Exhibits in Aix Annual Show

Artists Inspired by Provence · Guest Post · Inspire

Every June, there’s a must-visit exhibition in Aix from a talented local familypainter Jill Steenhuis, her sculptor husband Sergio Ruffato, plus their son Serge, also a sculptor.

Jill paints in an impressionistic style and usually takes her inspiration from Aix, the Sainte-Victoire and the countryside around her lovely home.

Who is Jill Steenhuis?

“I could not have imagined what destiny had in store for me.”

Destiny or not, Jill’s journey to Provence was far from a foregone conclusion. Losing her mother as a young child was a devastating loss. However, Jill’s father encouraged her artistic side to blossom and attend Sweet Briar College in Virginia. It was his graduation gift – a trip to Provence – that would change her life in more ways than they could have imagined.
