Last Update: 1 August 2004
Christina Hilliard has been an art student all her life. She began going to summer art camps at age six and her interest in the arts has continued to grow. Her senior year in the Stuart Hall Visual and Performing Arts Program served to help define her artistic goals, while her freshman year in the Art Foundation Program at Virginia Commonwealth University focused on the processes involved in making art. She especially enjoyed the process of “gleaning,” using found materials to inspire projects. Christina enjoys experimenting in a variety of mediums and techniques, as can be viewed in this exhibit. While most of the work presented here is two dimensional, she is currently pursuing a degree in Interior Design at Virginia Commonwealth University with a minor in Crafts.
