Hilary was struck that Water not only functioned as a primary force through its many formal properties (ice formations, floods, river beds, flowing streams, crushing waves, etc.) but was just as affected by how she also identified with water on an emotional level. "It is still and reflective, active and energized, wild and chaotic. Water has the ability to calm or destroy. Painting water can be compared to trying to capture the spirit of something. My hope is that if I can paint a simple glimmer of light or a distorted reflection, a quick ripple or the existence of life beneath its surface, I will have effectively translated a piece of the water’s story."
