Hilary gained her BA at Nottingham and her MA at the Painting School of the The Royal College of Art, London. She lives in London and works from her studio in Bethnal Green. Hilary is a member of The Printmakers Council and The East London Print Studio. Most of the prints on display are one-off monoprints which are multilayered images using materials such as lino, perspex and stencils to achieve the required layering and painterly depth.
Hilary’s work is in many public and private collections worldwide including the Victoria and Albert Museum and The Museum of London; The Zeiss Collection in Hamburg, Germany; and The L.V Prasad Eye Hospital in Hyderabad, India. She works in several mediums including acrylics, watercolours, printing and embroidery. This current exhibition includes includes new acrylic paintings and monoprints based on riverscapes in Bath and Oxford, worked up from watercolours and sketches made in-situ.
Other themes illustrated at the Lauderdale House Exhibition include sumptuous still lives, the Beauty of Nature, steamy jazz clubs and images of isolation with solitary figures viewing the outside world from mysterious interiors.
During the lockdown months, Hilary researched Greek Myths and was inspired by Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine who was taught his art by snakes. He is remembered to this day by the use of the serpent in the badges and arms of medical associations around the world. There is also on display a painting depicting the Three Greek Fates: Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos who respectively spun, measured and finally cut the Thread of Life. A particularly appropriate concept during the Pandemic.
This exciting and eclectic exhibition at Lauderdale House is open daily from 6 February to 3 March 2025 [12-4 except 11-3 Wednesdays]
