He studied at Collège Sainte-Marie de Montréal, Collège de Nicolet and Collège Saint-Laurent, then George de Forest Brush, who was vacationing in Pierreville, undertook to develop Gill's talent for painting. As a result, he went to the Art Association of Montreal that 1888 to study with William Brymner.[1] Encouraged by Brymner, he went to Paris and worked with Jean-Léon Gérôme at the École des Beaux-Arts. After returning to Montreal, he established his own studio in 1894.[2][1]
He also published poetry in the anthology Les soirées du Château de Ramesay (1900). After his death a volume of his poetry was published under the title Le Cap Eternité, poème suivi des étoiles filantes (1919).[2]
