Heather Hilton is an American painter who delves into the intersection of suburban development and the natural landscape. Her childhood memories of the Midwestern U.S., where suburban housing developments meet open fields and century-old farms, serve as the inspiration for her work.
Hilton’s art does not cast suburban development as a villain, but rather portrays these intersections as marked places where something is both lost and gained. Although she is uncertain about the exact nature of these losses and gains, the transitions themselves fascinate her.
Her work has been exhibited in numerous galleries across the United States, receiving acclaim from both critics and collectors. Hilton continues to explore the impact of suburban development on the natural landscape, aiming to inspire a deeper conversation about this important issue.
