Hillary Scott

HILLARY SCOTT’S ART, IGNITED BY childhood tales and guided by Old Masters, echoes her deep-rooted connection to nature’s tranquility. Childhood exposure to Van Allsburg’s tales and Edward Hopper’s mastery kindled her fascination with landscapes. Nature’s hues, open skies and snow-laden memories became her muse, infusing her art with nostalgia and serenity, while her commitment to authenticity – rooted in observations as a child – drives her en plein air pursuits.

Hillary’s work, a testament to quiet escapades amid remote landscapes, offers solace. Each canvas echoes her journey, inviting viewers to bask in tranquil realms, crafted with heartfelt authenticity.

Her artistic journey also seamlessly blends techniques and inspirations from her background as a former illustrator, paying tribute toscenes to realist images drawn from studies, memory and imagination.
