She earned her BFA from UMass Lowell (2002) in studio art with a concentration in illustration. She illustrated books for many years before making the transition to landscape painting in 2014.

Most recently she has been recognized as one of PleinAir Magazine's 15 most influential landscape artists on Instagram and took 2nd place in the previous two International Artist Magazine's landscape competitions for her paintings, "Morning Mystique" and "A Dusting of Magic". Hillary is a member of the Oil Painters of America, a master artist member of Newburyport Art Association and represented by the Todd Bonita Gallery in Portsmouth, NH, Valerie's Gallery in Newburyport, MA, and Martinhouse Gallery in Blowing Rock, NC. Artist Statement As a former illustrator, my technique and goals have evolved. I've long admired painters like Maxfield Parrish, who successfully created a perfect balance between realism and fantasy. Thus, the purely magical scenes I once painted have been incorporated into realist images sourced from plein air studies, photos, visits, memory and imagination. In my latest series of paintings, I strive to capture the fleeting moments of morning and evening light. I'm fascinated by the effect of light on landscapes and attempt to convey a sense of space, season, serenity, and nostalgia. My compositions are designed to evoke an emotional reaction from the viewer; I consider a visceral response from my audience an important measure of success for a painting. Though I consider myself a realist, the minute details of a place are secondary to the mood and lighting they capture. Learn More About Hillary Scott Who Does Kevin Macpherson Trust with His Website?
