New Year, New Projects!

Happy New Year!

2026 marks the 40th Anniversary of my first visit to Vancouver - amazing that all these years later I am still finding inspiration in this beautiful City!

Before knuckling down to work on New projects, I am taking a bit of a break to visit family overseas, but then I'll be back to work on new paintings and I will keep you updated on what's on my desk here.

If you are still searching for a 2026 Wall Calendar, which are now sold out here at my studio, you can find the final few available at Book'Mark - The Library Store at the Vancouver Public Library. I do have a few of the small and Desk calendars still here at the studio.

WINTER STUDIO HOURS

Monday - Friday : 10am - 4pm

Saturday and Sunday: 11am - 4pm

Our hours might vary from these whilst Yesare, and then Hilary, is away so please check first if you are heading down to the studio especially.

A NOTE TO ALL MY LOVELY US CUSTOMERS:

OWING TO THE CURRENT TARIFF UNCERTAINTY AND THE REMOVAL OF THE DE MINIMIS RULE REGARDING SHIPMENTS (whereby any packages sent to you in the US with a value under $800 would not incur any tariffs or duties) I HAVE TAKEN THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO SUSPEND MOST SHIPPING TO THE US FOR THE TIME BEING

However as the situation becomes clearer, I am happy to be able to work with you on a case by case basis, so please email me directly and I can give you some more information as to which products seem to incur additional duties and those which can ship duty /tariff free, as before

About Hilary

Soon after moving from the UK to Vancouver in 1987, Hilary picked up a paintbrush as a way of getting to know her new hometown. She had no idea then that she would be spending the next thirty years recording Vancouver’s ever-changing neighbourhoods and vistas in vibrant watercolour and Indian Ink. Her early paintings, which focused on the city’s historic buildings and local haunts, may have given way to wider panoramas of the city and its environs, but her images remain just as colourful and detailed. The city continues to grow and change, providing her plenty of new images to capture!
Hilary’s original paintings start off as detailed pen-and-ink drawings, after which Gouache (opaque watercolour) is added (sometimes along with watersoluble wax crayon, pencils and pigmented pen). The detail is finally added with India ink in a steel-tipped technical pen.
