Hilary Dancer

Hilary Dancer is a contemporary artist working in acrylic, oil & mixed media. She uses a vibrant palette to produce a variety of impressionistic, almost abstract paintings, but is perhaps best known for her romantic figures & atmospheric cityscapes. Hilary works from her studio in Hampshire.

Hilary says: “I find my inspiration in the structural world around me, either busy city life or beautiful villages. I start with several references but my paintings usually evolve along the way so the end scene isn’t always recognisable once I’ve finished. I use many layers of thick and thin paint, balancing colour with composition and soft edges with straight lines. I want the architectural element to be understood but mainly I want to capture the mood and spirit of the location. I am always experimenting with colour and texture in the pursuit of new and exciting work.”
