Mary Hill |
||||||||||||||||||||
Mary Hill is a painter and costume maker. Her passion for colour and depicting plants and animals led her to watercolour, a medium which she describes as ”willful but fascinating”, and because of this affinity “well suited to celebrate nature and our world.”Mary likes to focus on the minutiae, precise but painterly at the same time, capturing the trivial and unique elements of a botanical specimen or animal, like a wormhole in an apple, the curl of a leaf, a ladybug taking flight. From 1970 to 1974, she studied Fine Art at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Theatre Arts at Dalhousie University which was then a combined program. After working at Neptune Theatre for two years as a costume maker, she opened her own studio, resulting in a long career in custom design. Mary has exhibited her watercolours throughout Nova Scotia in many juried shows, most notably at the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History and the Harriet Irving Centre at Acadia University.
