Family (2020) Картина - Hilary Done

Hilary Done was born in Vancouver, BC. Her earliest memories are of playing on the beach in West Vancouver. She believes that this imprinted upon her an undying love for the ocean and all things coastal. 

Her family relocated to Hollywood, CA in the late 1950s, where her father worked as an Art Director in the golden age of television. Growing up surrounded by artists and their work, she visited the studios with her father and was always proud to see him in his element. She will never forget the sight of his set designs coming to life. 

Her own creative journey started early, experimenting with different media, attending classes both in Pasadena, CA and later in Oxford, UK. She got married and had two children in England before returning to California in 1984, where she had three more children. The demands of raising a family caused her to put her artistic ambitions on hold. Now that the nest is empty, she has been able to rediscover the joy of painting. 

It was only when she began to experiment with abstract forms that she finally found the freedom she longed for. The paintings unfold on the blank canvas with little planning or forethought. They are a spontaneous outpouring of something deep within. Like a writer who says that his characters begin to speak their own lines and he just writes them down, she finds her paintings do much the same, and she is always amazed to be along for the ride!
