Dozing Under a Dream of Flight

Dozing Under a Dream of Flight

Cover | Hilary Williams

Dozing Under a Dream of Flight (screen print on paper, limited edition, 2011). Award-winning artist Hilary Williams works in mixed media, creating surreal screenprints of urban scenes that encompass photography, printmaking, patterning, and drawing. “Since my first introduction to screen printing I have been enthralled by its graphic quality, bold colors, and the way it lends itself to layers,” writes Williams, who is represented by aMFa Galleries, and whose work was recently featured in the Sausalito Art Fair. “There is always some humor, irony as well as melancholy in my pieces.” In 2002, Williams received her B.A. in printmaking from Oakland’s California College of the Arts. A Bay Area resident, she teaches at ARC Studios and Gallery in San Francisco.
