Figurative artworks by Mary Hillier

Sometimes silly, sometimes serious, always fun!

The idea of making the human figure as art is a natural process...made more real during live drawing sessions in college. The first time I was expected to draw a manly model au natural I almost passed out. It didn't help that he was positioned face forward at me! I laugh even now when I look at that first attempt - there was a blankness where his private parts should have been. Ahh sweet naive me.

Now there is no hesitation. I am geared and ready to slap nakedness on canvas without a second thought.

Don't be offended. It's the artist's way. A necessity.
