Hilary trained as a Theatre and Costume Designer at Croydon College of Art. She has worked extensively in the theatre, television and on many films.
Her discovery of silk painting brought together her skills as an artist and textile designer. Her passion for colour, texture and design led to her travels in the Far East. She is particularly inspired by Thailand, Indonesia and Guatemala. Hilary has held many exhibitions both here and abroad. She has exhibited in several London galleries and taken part in fairs throughout the UK, including Art in Action in Oxfordshire in July 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2002. |
