Bio
Hilary Rochow is a multidisciplinary artist and designerbased out of San Antonio, Texas. She holds a Bachelors of Industrial Design from Auburn University. Her formal training in design informs her understanding of visual communication and cognition, which is clear in her fine art work. Hilary is known for her drawings of impactful animal figures in black ink on clean backgrounds. More recently, she has been exploring ceramics where she employs her eye for detail in the form and texture of her sculptures and functional ware. Her lifelong adoration of the natural world weaves its way into her choice of animal and plant subjects.
Hilary’s drawings have been published in Passage, an online arts publication based in Dallas, and she has been featured in The San Antonio Current as well as Glasstire. She has shown work at multiple galleries including Flax Gallery, Space C7, Ornamental Cabbage, Mercury Project, and FL!GHT. She also operates her own gallery in the Southtown Arts District, Rojo, as well as curates for Under Construction, a two person exhibition concept. Hilary is most often found in her Southtown studio alongside her two loving dogs and one very bad cat.

Artist Statement of Work
Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):
My work is as much about perception and time as it is about the botanical and animal subject matter I choose. I’m someone who is extremely detail-oriented, and I spend a lot of my time carefully observing the world around me. My hope in creating is that I can encourage a thoughtful way of looking in my audience, and that my work can help forge an emotional connection between human and nature. We are not so disparate, after all, being more so animals in communities of animals than something that exists outside of the natural world.
