“My paintings are impressionistically rendered portraits of animals surrounded by abstract colour field backgrounds …” — Sarah Hillock
Sarah Hillock is a Toronto-based impressionistic realist painter who combines portraiture with abstract fields of color.
Her inspiration is derived from her personal connection with nature and her strong values surrounding preserving and protecting the wild spaces that make life possible.
Hillock’s distinctive technique of using oil paint on plastic polymer sheets is an exacting and precise process. Given that the artist works the piece using a wet-on-wet method, she must fully complete the painting before the oil dries. The depth of the paint only allows for a 10–16-hour window before the piece becomes unworkable. To prepare she plans out the painting in charcoal and ink before attempting the final piece. Her process is fast and loose and produces a composition that combines the elements of precision, planning, energy, and movement.
