Meet Jill Trenholm
Jill Trenholm is a Sedona-based bronze sculptor, musician, and storyteller whose work explores themes of healing, unity, and human dignity. Born in Sheridan, Wyoming, and raised in the intermountain West by a forest-service father and a kindergarten-teacher mother, Jill developed an early and lasting connection to the natural world — one that continues to shape the textures, forms, and creatures found throughout her sculpture today.
Jill's path to bronze work wound through Los Angeles, where she spent nearly two decades as a freelance sculptor and toy painter for companies including Disney and Applause, and later created the internationally sold collectible figurine series In a Nutshell, which brought her to national and international giftware shows and a featured spot on QVC.
After relocating to Sedona, Jill met legendary bronze sculptor John Soderberg and became his student, then his protégée — eventually serving as his caretaker in his final years. She now carries his methods forward, teaching new bronze artists from her own Trenholm Sculpture Studio in Sedona. Her exhibition Mastery in Motion, presented with the Fine Art Museum of Sedona, honors both her own artistic voice and her deep bond with Soderberg, exploring how a rigid, cold medium like bronze can be made to feel alive and in motion.
Beyond sculpture, Jill is an accomplished singer-songwriter — she earned a vocal scholarship to Utah State University and has opened for Michael McDonald — as well as an author of children's books.
Her recent work includes The Deer Woman, created to honor and raise awareness for the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives movement, and the Tree of Oneness, a piece celebrating the interconnectedness of humanity and the living world — now the inspiration for the community mural at Sedonya's Oneness Weekend.

Sedonya . 120 Deer Trail Drive
Inspired by the idea that we are all interconnected, Oneness Weekend brings together visual art, storytelling, music, ceremony, community participation, and shared experiences designed to foster a deeper sense of belonging and unity.
Presented in collaboration with the Fine Art Museum of Sedona and Sedonya Conscious Living Center, Onenesss Weekend is a community-embedded event in coordination that is as part FAMoS Mastery in Motion experience, showcasing Sedona artists Jill Trenholm and John Soderber.
For one extraordinary weekend, art moves beyond the gallery and becomes something we experience—and create—together.
Oneness Weekend is a two-day celebration of creativity, music, food, storytelling, ceremony, and community, inspired by the simple but powerful idea that we are all connected.
At the heart of the weekend is artist Jill Trenholm’s Tree of Oneness, a work that honors the relationship between individuality and belonging. Each of us carries a distinct story, yet together we become part of something larger.
