 Jill Leite
Jill Leite's original watercolors and fine art prints have been selected for the collections of numerous University of Georgia alumni, faculty, and officials. Finely detailed scenes capture the stately architecture and proud heritage of the historic Athens campus.

An artist who specializes in landscape and architectural rendering, Ms. Leite has the rare ability to convey the beauty and distinction of any beloved site through her sensitive watercolor paintings. Private residences, university buildings, developments, corporations, and public resources are among the varied subjects Ms. Leite has transformed into unique works of art.

This beautiful series of University of Georgia prints, individually signed by the artist, presents timeless views of UGA's most prominent and historic scenes. The campus collection includes The Arch, The Chapel, Terry College of Business, the J. H. Lumpkin School of Law, Terrell Hall, and Demosthenian Hall, College of Veterinary Medicine, Park Hall, Dawson Hall, and the Warnell School of Forest Resources. Superior craftsmanship and the finest quality materials preserve these memorable Georgia scenes for a lifetime.
