"The beauty and thoughtfulness of Jill’s inclusive art is amazing! I was so moved by the "We Are Iowa" video describing her school mural and other projects that I immediately got online and made a donation to support her unique and important work."

"Wells' intention and awareness shows the power of partnership and creativity. Her work I think makes me feel vindicated."
Dana James
Black Iowa News
"Wells is the talent behind many highly visible murals and art projects in Iowa and elsewhere. Young Black children in Des Moines will grow up seeing themselves reflected in the murals’ themes. Wells’ soaring murals across the state have the power to revolutionize how we see ourselves and maybe how others see us as well."
Jack Marren
Iowa-based Artist + 2022-23 AXA Mentee
"Because Jill's AXA mentorship is helping me gain experience as a professional artist and explore new ideas and skills: also, learn to manage a budget, expenses and learn how to collaborate with other artists and clients."
