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.
