Hilary Morris - Beaver Pond

Granville Island/False Creek

Despite my being a fan of contemporary, abstracted art, I really love Hilary Morris' artwork. She…read moreis a self-taught artist who paints local Vancouver scenes (and those of Whistler, too) in a primitive-like manner, akin to Grandma Moses but perhaps with a bit more dimension and layers. To me, it's super appealing and, because the subject matter is so recognizable and the depiction, so literal and whimsical in almost a child-like manner, her artwork is popular with a wide range of people. Since moving to Vancouver two years ago, I've walked about this city extensively. So for me, ever since I first saw Morris' works, I was able to recognize and relate to the happy scenes of this marvelous city: Stanley Park and the seawall, in all four seasons; English Bay, Second and third Beach, Sunset Beach, Siwash Rock; Chinatown, downtown scenes, Gastown; the Aquaferry boats crisscrossing False Creek; Granville Island; and, so much more. Because the scenes are so familiar, painted in such a bright and happy manner, to me they are relatable, accessible and require no analysis. I call it "happy art" and, really, who doesn't need some happy art in their life???? Morris' artwork is probably familiar to you as it's on greeting cards (found in many stores), postcards, notebooks, magnets, coasters, bookmarks and more. Her works are also available every year when she attends the Circle convention at the Convention Center (here you can meet the artist and get special discounts on some of her works. I've purchased boxed sets of her Christmas greeting cards on sale at this convention and all the recipients LOVED their cards!). At her studio today, I was pleased to see painted glass ornament globes, and she mentioned she would soon have jigsaw puzzles depicting her artwork for sale soon, too. I always look forward to seeing what new paintings/Vancouver scenes Morris conjures up, and how she chooses to showcase them.

Wonderful local artist. If you love BC her colorful art is a keepsake or gift for guests.read more
