Stephanie Hilton

Artist Statement

Stephanie Hiltons' love for watercolor painting began many years ago after seeing works by Maurice Prendergast at the MET. Besides more traditional watercolor painting, she also enjoys creating fun woven watercolor panels by weaving several paintings together into one. Inspired by personal photos of cherished family trips, these unique 3D panels are carefully sealed and mounted into box frames, resulting in the appearance of glass or painted tile.
Her love for Maine, the Connecticut shoreline, and warm weather spots like the Florida Keys and Aruba always find their way into her work. Stephanie paints and creates for pure joy, her love of color, nature, and the tactile experience she has while weaving the paper. She enjoys watching people admire her work, as they look closely, trying to figure out how it's done,
