Hilary Eastment is primarily self taught in drawing and painting, although her accomplished career background in make-up artistry and styling for the photographic industry has proven to be a great influence in her particular art style. Hilary's predominant subject is Female beauty, and other works include animals, birds and abstracts, to date her paintings have sold to private collectors in Europe,USA and Australia. Statement from Artist: Female beauty has always been a popular subject with artists and art lovers throughout the ages. This has proven to be my own predominant subject theme, I've always admired the masters of this challenging theme for their talent and competence in passionately creating portrayals of females of their time, whether the art style is realism, romantic, classical nude or modern abstract, they are all to be admired. My work has been described as: contemporary, realistic, tasteful, romantic and sometimes a little sensual, above all for me it's a celebration to the beauty of women of my own time.
