I do things.

Sometime with words.
Sometimes with
paint.
Always with
feeling.

Beyond the Mirror-Jill-Burkes-What-does-your-body-let-you-do

Hi, I'm Jill

A Toronto-born Canadian living abroad.​

​

“Jill does things” started as a running joke.

​

I’d come home with stories about random

conversations and unexpected adventures.

​

My partner would laugh and say, 

​

“Jill does things.”

​

Eventually it stuck. 

​​​

These days I split my time between

PR and communications and creative work I love.

​

Writing. 

Painting. 

And building a warm community around Beyond the Mirror.

​​

Everything I create comes back to one idea:

​​​

Look beyond the surface.

Appreciate what lives underneath. 

Beyond the Mirror
A new way to see your body 

We were taught to ask the wrong question.


“How do I look?”

​

What if we asked:

 

“What does my body let me do?”

​

​Beyond the Mirror is a gentle illustrated journey for all ages.

​

Told through whimsical images and simple lines of gratitude. 

The book invites us to see our bodies differently. ​​

Coming Soon!

My Art
Where Feelings Meet the Canvas 

A lot of emotions came up during recovery.

Painting became the place those feelings could land.
