2010— PRIVATE ART INSTRUCTION
St. Simons Island, Georgia
Hillary opens her studio to offer private art classes for adults looking to learn how to effectively draw or paint with watercolors, either one-on-one or in small groups, that enable students to focus on achieving their personal artistic goals. Whether a beginner or experienced artist, these fun and informative classes focus on creating a solid foundation of basic drawing skills and a controlled approach to watercolor techniques that progress from a level of “fear of failure” to a high level of confidence, freely enabling students to use art as a creative form of expression and communication in a relaxed and enjoyable way.

DELIBERATE COMPOSITION
ASBA Conference - Pittsburgh, Pa.
This fun and informative full day course combines class discussion with practical excercises to bring students to a new level of awareness when developing a deliberate and successful composition. Moving beyond the use of technical proficiency as a way to hold the viewer's eye, students learn to identify the voice of their subject and stretch their thinking by moving past imitation to interpretation as a way to speak to the viewer.
