Jill Moser is a New York-based abstract painter whose practice often explores the dialogue between painting and printmaking. Her paintings, drawings, prints, and artist's books have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States and Europe, and featured in prominent collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, The National Gallery of Art, The Yale University Art Gallery, The Fogg Art Museum, and The National Library of France. Over the past two decades, Moser has made numerous print editions with Jungle Press, Burnet Editions, Wingate Studios, Landfall Press, Brand X, Collaborative Art Editions, and Manneken Press. She has worked collaboratively on projects with poets, artists, designers, and architects. She has taught at Princeton University, Virginia Commonwealth University, SUNY, and The School of Visual Arts and lectured across the United States. She lives and works in New York.

Moser's vocabulary is rooted in gestural line that at first appears spontaneous and immediate, but belies the manipulation, blotting, redrawing, and fixing that are at its core. Her gestural brushstrokes seem at once violent and poetic, capturing the energy and gesture of her signature calligraphic line caught and held in a quiet equilibrium. These new prints were created at CCP in an exploration which brought Moser's collage work and monotypes into the same experimental space. Her current work continues to explore the relationships and investigations discovered through the creation of these prints.
