Hilary is a painter, hoarder, goodwill enthusiast, and mother of 2 boys. Her medium of choice is junk drawers. It all started harmlessly enough, when her youngest son broke toys as quickly as he picked them out. She started a drawer of his destruction, determined to repair some of the carnage. Legos left strewn about for people to step on were soon added, then dice and game pieces that didn't make their way back to the proper box.
Finally, an idea emerged to do a portrait of her son using all the broken toys. It proved to be an addictive mix of painting and puzzle solving. The toys and materials pull you into a story within the artwork. Every piece she’s completed has been a lesson is how to paint with objects.
