Jill Carter-Hansen - Multi Disciplinary Artist/Illustrator - is the Arterie Artist in Residence during October 2015 at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse.
Jill is writing and illustrating the story of Beatrice - a bear from the bush who comes to Lifehouse to be reunited with long lost cousin - Brien Bear. Beatrice wanders around Lifehouse, meeting and discovering members of the Lifehouse community in search of Brien. People visiting Lifehouse are invited to sit with Jill, draw their own bear or colour in one of her existing miniature bears from Jill’s illustrations from ‘Bearley There’ (written by Aleesah Darlinson).The Artist in Residence program is proudly supported by Dry July.
