1983-1985 : Artist, newlywed and young mother
Jill picked up her oil paints and palette again after two years dedicated to drawing and watercolor. She continued her work as an artist at the Château Noir. Along with her main painting partner and former classmate from the Marchutz School, Robin Oliver, she painted mainly landscapes of the Provençal villages and the countryside surrounding Aix (Le Tholonet and Saint Cannat), while she continued drawing the street workers.

On June 9th, 1984, Jill and Serge were married at Cathedral Saint Jean de Malte in Aix-en-Provence.
