   Recently moving to Olympia, Washington from Texas and New York, Hillary’s life long love of painting began at the age of eight with classes with artist James Baker in Greenwich, Connecticut. By age twelve, she started attending classes at the Art Student’s League in New York City. Later, she studied with the painter Edna Tacon, a protégée of Wassily Kandinsky.

   Stints at college and art school at Knox College, Illinois and Byam Shaw College of Art in London, England were followed by work in the commercial photography field thru the Carl Duisberg Institute in Germany. Hillary continued in the commercial photography for several years both in Munich, Germany and New York. Switching careers, Hillary began working free-lance within the New York corporate world as well as running Van Vorst Art Gallery with her husband in Jersey City, New Jersey. Finally, she returned full time to her first love: painting.

   Hillary is a member of the Olympia Art League, New York Art Student’s League, the Laredo Center for the Arts, Laredo, Texas, and The Art Center of Corpus Christi, Corpus Christi, Texas. Her work is represented by Women and Their Work Gallery, Austin, Texas. Her paintings are in private collections in the United States, France, Germany, Guatemala, Israel, Saudi Arabia and South Africa as well as at N.Y.U. Medical Center, N.Y. and in the collection of President and Mrs. George Bush.
