Hilary Griffin

Hilary paints in oil and watercolor painting for decades, drawing upon her extensive travels through North America’s national parks and her years spent in Europe. Living on the Connecticut shoreline offers perennial New England vistas as her subject matter. While traveling to distant and exotic locales Hilary paints en plein air, capturing beloved local scenes of her numerous travel destinations.

While living in Europe, Hilary rediscovered the masterpieces of her famous grandfather going back six generations. Hilary muses that art is in her genes, being the descendant of famous Sardinian painter Giovanni Marghinotti, who painted for the royal courts of Spain and Sardinia in the 19th century. Her time in Europe learning foreign languages and studying art in Florence, ignited her passion to continue the legacy of her Italian ancestor, which she does everyday.
