Hilary is a self taught oil painter that specializes in portraiture.
Though based in Annapolis, Maryland, I travel for about 3 months per year and have been to over 50 countries; my photography is closely linked to my travels. I've had a lot of opportunities to exercise my interest by virtue of having lived in both the Netherlands and Hawaii, both exceptionally photogenic places. In my travels I try to capture a sense of place as well those evocative moments that form our strongest memories, from landscapes to candid street portraits. Travel photography of this sort has multiple goals: a documentary one and an emotional one.

I am a lifelong resident of Maryland, with my art career as a "second act", after decades of being a mom and an accountant.
I am a representational painter, working primarily in two mediums, oil paint and wool. These two mediums allow me a broader spectrum of techniques to paint my subjects, most often landscapes and trees, which I elevate to the level of spiritual mentors for us all.
I am a recent graduate of the Master Artist Program at The Compass Atelier and have taken numerous felting classes from felt masters in the United States and abroad.

"the DJ known as Ducky Dynamo's party antics have led her to play in some of Baltimore and DC's best-known venues, as well as touring through the country and across our borders bringing the Baltimore Club and party sound to all within earshot. Serving as an ambassador of her city's sonic energy and spirit, she delivers sets some have called "life-changing" but, at the least, a journey through tunes worthy of inspiring a whirling dervish of turn up."
