Gallery B

Our Curator

Jill Parry

Jill is a Welsh-born artist, educator, and curator with a rich international background. She studied at Birmingham College of Art and the Slade School of Fine Arts in London, later teaching textile design in Papua New Guinea and running a silk studio in London before relocating to the U.S.

She has worked extensively as a teaching artist with ArtsWestchester and was honored with their “50 for 50” award for her contributions to the arts. At The Rye Arts Center, Jill has taught, curated major exhibitions, and launched Gallery B—a space dedicated to showcasing and supporting regional artists.

Her artwork, rooted in textile and fiber traditions, has evolved into bold, abstract paintings known for their texture and narrative depth. Her recent work is featured in galleries, museums, and public spaces.

A pop-up exhibition of her paintings will be held at The Rye Arts Center in May to celebrate her 2025 Visionary Artist Award.
