About
Hello!
This is Hilary. I grew up drawing with my art teacher mother and took art classes from a studio. After a long hiatus during and after college, I reconnected with art in my late 20s.
Art is my practice. Through creating, I connect with my interests, thoughts/emotions, and the subjects I draw. It also connects me to you. Lately I mostly create with watercolor. I also create with digital tools, pencil, and soft pastel.
My creative process:
Before I start - I observe the objects or ideas pique my interest, and explore the qualities and feelings I want to convey. Right before drawing, I take a moment to slow down and connect with my intention, to notice my thoughts and how I feel. When I create - I express in the art piece the qualities and feelings that I connected with. During the process, I stay curious and explore new techniques. I would notice my mind chatters, notice where I need to grow, self soothe, or use positive affirmation as I create.
Best,
Hilary
