Who is Hooey Batiks? I am Jill Miller, an artist living in Urbana, Illinois. Since 1992, I’ve been exhibiting my batiks at art shows and festivals. As a member of the Illinois Artisans Program, I sell my creations at two of the Illinois Artisan shops -- located in the Museum Store at the Illinois State Museum in Springfield, and the Southern Illinois Artisans Shop at Rend Lake. I work primarily on clothing, but also make pillows, velvet scarves, handbags and lampshades. I learned how
to batik in an art class at the University of Illinois almost 15 years ago and
was immediately addicted. Batik is
a sloppy, waxy mess and it’s always a pleasant surprise to see the bright,
colorful designs that were hiding under layers of wax. I love playing with color combinations, coming up with silly
new designs, and just having fun with it all. Currently
www.hooeybatiks.com
is strictly informational. Some of my stuff
available to buy on-line at Etsy. You can
also see some of my designs, color combinations and clothing styles
on my own site.
