A Glimpse Into The World Of Juliana Hilton



Juliana Hilton is another of my favourite Australian artists I thought I'd share with you..  She is in her seventies, a mother of five and a prolific painter and printmaker and currently lives in country Victoria.  Her work has a luminosity and sense of purpose that appeals to me greatly.



The first encounter I had with  her work was at an exhibition in the 1980's I attended with Sylvia Isaac, a dear and much beloved artist friend of many years.  Sylvia thought I would enjoy Juliana and she was right!  I love Juliana's use of everyday subject matter and the way she makes me a part of her work with her endearing use of colour  and contrast.


I find that  her use of bright against dark, flower juxtaposed with vegetable, bowl beside chair, table by piano   all speak to my sensibilities.  I could happily cohabit with her subject matter and feel fulfilled and content.

Juliana has introduced me to the sweet yellow of the prickly pear fruit in a bowl of endearing blue that I would love to call my own...I am tempted to take out my paints and canvas....but no, I cannot match her way of bringing everyday life to my table.  I wish only to bring it to my walls......when I win Lotto perhaps....
