BIOGRAPHY
Hilary
Baldwin was born in Boston and has lived in Massachusetts most
of her life. She paints in the Boston School tradition; a blend
of realism and impressionism, trying to impart a feeling about
each piece, rather than describing it in detail. Most of her
work is painted "en plein air" in Boston, the North
Shore and in Southern France.
Hilary
graduated from the Vesper George Art School in Copley Square,
Boston. She worked as a freelance commercial artist for a number
of years before deciding that fine art was where her heart was.
She has studied plein air painting with North Shore artist David
Curtis and has taken workshops with other well-known Boston artists,
including Robert Douglas Hunter and Bill Ternes.
Hilary
is a member of the Copley Society of Art in Boston, awarded CA
status, a "Distinguished Artist" member of the Concord
Art Association, an artist member of the North Shore Art Association,
and has works in selected local galleries and numerous private
collections.
