Hey, I’m Jill Stone.
I’m an artist, martial artist, ceremonialist, and community builder based in Berkeley, California.
I’ve made countless portraits, songs, and poems, and yet, my most meaningful work has been creating scenes of togetherness.
I am at home singing into cozy, candlelit rooms, sending chills up spines and awakening sleepy cells. I love resonating the subtle movements of our souls so we can truly feel alive.
Artist Statement
The backbone of my creative process is a dignified relationship with myself.
As a friend to myself, I ask this question:
How do I feel with the bravery of an artist
and act with the precision of a warrior, to live my Personal Legend?
I accept that life is a process.
It will never be solved.
But my movements through it can be masterful.
And mastery of my conduct is how I serve those I love.
Mastery of my conduct is how I build Trust.
And Trust is how anything worth doing gets done.
Art is only as good as its ability to strengthen a web of relationships.
The purpose of my art is to serve the body’s awakening into greater intelligence, vitality, and community.
