Jill Vondervor-Frank

Jill Vondervor-Frank is our March, 2026 featured artist.  She has lived in Maplewood for over 50 years, and is originally from Hudson County. Jill studied art in her last 2 years of high school and has never stopped learning since. Her favorite subjects are flowers and buildings.  Jill has been commissioned to paint over 75 homes!

In her own words, Jill says "I discovered watercolor when I took a watercolor class with Elizabeth Horowitz,  just so I could have lunch with a friend taking a pottery class at the Visual Art Center in Summit.  I never tried another medium after that, having done them all. I love that you have to think about your painting, and to plan how you can accomplish a certain part of the painting.  I am so lucky to have watercolor and the Essex Watercolor Club in my life, as it has offered me lasting friendships with other artists and an activity  that I can still enjoy."
