Cover Artist Jill Estroff

Inside Arden February 2026

Jill Estroff, who lives in Curtis Park, worked as marketing director for Crocker Art Museum from 1986 to 1993, and is now the art curator for KVIE. She strives to capture the essence of a scene in a loose abstract style and admires the vivid color and bold brushwork of expressionist painters. This painting was created the morning after the January wedding of Jill’s friend Cecily Hastings to Steve Williamson. Her inspiration was the fl oral arrangement for the wedding created by Garden Wishes. It was a gift to the newlywed couple. Shown: “Bridal Flowers,” oil on canvas, 20 inches by 20 inches.
