Hilary Baldwin
Member since 2015
Hilary Baldwin graduated from Vesper George School of Art in Copley Square, Boston. It was there she learned illustration, composition, design and developed a fluency in watercolor painting. After working as a commercial artist for a few years she started focusing on landscape painting in oils with artist David Curtis and took workshops with Robert Douglas Hunter, and Bill Ternes.
Many of her paintings are reflective of natural settings. Many are done on location, "en plein air" or started on location and finished in the studio. She is drawn to and tries to capture the serenity and beauty of nature and also to keep a spontaneity about each piece. Her style is of the Boston School with a strong background in drawing and realism while keeping true to impressionism and conveying a mood about each piece.
She is an artist member of the Copley Society, Newbury St. Boston, MA, awarded Copley Artist status, an artist member of the Concord Center for the Visual Arts in Concord, MA, an artist member of the North Shore Art Association in Gloucester, MA, an artist member of the Rockport Art Association, and an artist member of the Alden Bryan Memorial Gallery in Jeffersonville, VT. Her work is represented at Renjeau Gallery in Natick, MA. She has paintings in numerous private collections, including commissioned family portraits in oil and children’s and infants portraits in pencil.
