Artist Hilarie Lambert at Trenholm Artists Guild in 2007

Award winning painter, Hilarie Lambert, has been drawing for most of her life, beginning as a child in the Finger Lakes area of New York State, and throughout her career as a graphic designer for a major corporation. Her focus changed to full time painting after she moved to Charleston and joined the Charleston Artist Guild and the Charleston Outdoor Painters. Since then, she has developed a unique, painterly style that has brought attention from art collectors and corporations alike.

"Lambert has developed a following with her recognizable style - part of this is in her approach to the application of paint to canvas. She lays paint down in what seems to be quick and loose, but is strong brush strokes in a confident manner. This style gives the viewer a definite sense of the artist's hand and vision at work in the finished piece. The range and mood in her pieces is broad; sometimes done tongue in cheek, with her sense of humor evident in the choice of titles and subject matter. The artist also can address subjects with a classical style, while still rendering the pieces with her signature flair." says the Moultrie News.

Primarily a plein air painter, she loves painting the landscape and people wherever she travels, and paints daily either in her studio, or outside. She does numerous workshops around the country and abroad. Her work has been featured in numerous one woman shows, magazine features and collected both privately and in corporations. Examples of her work appear below:

Hilary was a delightful speaker. She used a slide show to demonstrate development of her work using values, temperature changes and use of shapes. At one point in the presentation, she made everything simple with this explanation: "Just start the work and begin making corrections. As soon as you have made all the corrections, you'll be finished! EASY."
