Capucines Boulevard Features Artist Hilary Winfield

about the artist

Currently, I live in Portland, Oregon and have been painting with acrylic and water color on canvas for about ten years; although my focus at this time is acrylic painting. My paintings are created through inspiration and passion for color. The selection of color for each piece is inspired by the season, the weather, nature, and life in general. 

Each piece is created without a concrete plan, beginning with the intended color scheme and a canvas. Each painting is original, authentic and personally signed. I use only the finest quality in paint, brush, and canvas and add a clear, gloss coating to each work to protect the quality of the painting. Every painting you purchase from me will be of the best quality. 

artists' statement

I love painting and absolutely adore color. My favorite thing about painting is having the opportunity to blend color in new and unique ways. Each time I create a painting, I put everything that I have into making the best possible work of art, with the highest possible quality. 

To me, art is intended to evoke some type of emotion. I love the way that a painting can influence the viewer to feel joyful, introspective, thoughtful, adventurous, or peaceful and calm. It can be calming, energizing, and inspiring. A painting can add elegance, charm, and warmth, and single-handedly light up a room. I simply believe that beautiful, meaningful art is good for your life. And this is what inspires me.
