ANIMAL PORTRAITS

Hilary's animal portraits can take either a fine, detailed approach similar to her botanical work, or convey the character and form of the animal in a simplified but highly effective way - similar to her human portraits. Two examples of cats are presented below for sale as giclee prints.

Select the silver 'details' button to view magnified sections of the artwork, and for purchasing details.  

Hilary would welcome commissions to draw new portraits, but due to time constraints she may be forced to limit the medium and style she can use. Please see her current portrait commission guidance for more details.

A giclee (jhee-clay) print is a French word meaning the spraying of ink.  It is a term used to refer to a unique printing technology.  A giclee print is the closest mechanical duplication of an original artwork that is currently possible.  The inks are water based, offer a high UV resistance, and under museum archival conditions are light-fast up to 70 years.
