Sara fancies the colorful and imaginative works of local artist Hilary Williams. Her limited edition screen prints incorporate layers of photography, stencils, paintings, and drawings to express wistfully charming moments in and around San Francisco. Much of her work explores the juxtaposition of the urban and natural elements of life here, capturing both the soothing beauty of the City, and its prickly underlying energy.

“My works deals with a variety of emotions about the coexistence of our urban landscape, nature and humanity… I desire to create a surreal vision of reality that incorporates the past, present, and future of our worlds, landscapes, and characters, causing reflections on where we are today”

Hilary also plays with her methods of combined media and layered materials to create textural paintings that defy the bounds of a frame, and wonderfully engaging fabric sculptures that seem to invite you into a secret magical world.
