Hello, I’m Hilary. My life as an artist has been a study in transitions and contrasts. Whether walking a red carpet or standing for hours covered with longhorn beetles while painting in a marsh, I’m comfortable. While my art dealers puzzle over how to present my smutty cross sections, inaccurate history paintings, and outdoor observational paintings as part of one consistent brand, I’m on fire to paint more of everything. When details of my private life are splashed in the press, I throw a shit fit then happily cook dinner for my wife. I’ve come a long way to where I am now, living in a place of gratitude.
