“Art is a personal act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another.”
Our Emotions Matter
Emotions are intimately tied to our personal stories. These emotions are incredibly important as they connect us to ourselves and others.
Consider how your emotional response to your own stories have shaped you.
Therefore, as an artist, how can I create if I’m not wholeheartedly striving to build a tangible connection to our innermost feelings, stories and paths forward?
“…I like sculpture that speaks to me. I saw one of her works while touring a gallery, and it not only spoke to me—it was more like a shout. I acquired the work, and it is prominently displayed in our home. It is unique and has a message of deep meaning. Without exception, visitors to our home ask about it when they see it. ”
About
Sculpture
Commissions
My journey to becoming an artist and sculptor has been long and winding. Initially, I pursued Actuarial Science, but I always had an innate urge to be creative. When I started a family, I left the corporate world to embrace domestic life.
As my children reached high school, I contemplated my future. Among the various options, only art truly touched my soul. I returned to college, earned my BFA, and found clay as my medium of choice.
Sculpting figures became my focus. I've come to understand that my art is a way to visually express my inner emotions and to understand how my feelings connect to others in a way that affirms their journeys, emotions and stories.
Humanity is made up of billions of individuals, each with their own unique blend of innate characteristics and cultural influences. This combination creates and shapes our distinct lives.
I'm deeply passionate about crafting art that connects with our individual and collective life journeys. I believe that a viewer's emotions are affirmed when they recognize those same feelings in a work of art. I create as a means to process my own emotions, and I'm excited when my expression resonates with viewers, fostering a shared connection.
I bring creativity, love, intelligence, compassion, self-discipline, and integrity to my artistic practice. These qualities, combined with my unique story, are woven into every sculpture, making each a reflection of who I am and what I aspire to communicate.
I actively encourage and welcome collaboration in my commissioned work. This approach allows me to gain a deeper understanding of my client's needs and vision while involving them in the creative process. My goal is to craft a piece of art that brings our combined ideas to life.
A commission may begin with a piece similar to one of my existing works, or we can collaborate on something more personal. To initiate the process, please reach out to schedule an initial conversation to discuss project basics, such as size, timing, pricing, and other parameters.
“I have a few pieces of Lisa Hilton’s art …. She has a way of capturing beauty but also stirring emotion…”
“Lisa‘s intuitive design instincts have rewarded us with incredible pieces and sculptures that add enjoyment and beauty to our home. ”
“I’m in love with Wild Thing!! ... to me [it] represents “entrega” … in English it means to GIVE IT YOUR ALL … and that’s how I approach my life. Thank you for creating such beautiful and meaningful pieces of art. ..I’m so happy our paths crossed!!”
My Process
“The intersection of our individuality as viewer and artist has the potential to lead to conversation, collaboration, understanding, empathy, and connection.”
My Commitment
My priority is creating one-of-a-kind hand sculpted pieces while also maintaining high standards of craftsmanship. I believe the time and effort I give to creating a sculpture is a form of prayer for the person or family that brings it into their home.
Your satisfaction is very important to me. Please reach out if you would like more information or have any concerns.
