I have a new toy… and it’s great! Tree practice today in the sketchbooks 👍

Nice lil Saturday 🌞

I've been rooting through my website and finding projects I had forgotten all about. How does that happen? I had finished a series I called Sunday Study, where I took pictures of some of my paper media/tools displayed in the forest. I still like quit

Every time I post, Instagram has changed 6 times and I have to figure out how to post a simple picture again. So many bells and whistles… #painting

Found while packing: 14-17 year old Hillery drawings

Soon to be sun dappled lake things? Maybe? I don’t know… trees and lakes are cool though, we can agree on that much 👍

Purple and pink

I’m Hillery Lay, and I’m a mixed media artist living in Eastern Oregon.
I use a variety of mediums, spaces, and symbol markers to add depth to my painting practice. I create artwork rooted in my place and my people.
By blending nature with human figures and abstracting both elements, I am able to tell the story of my contemporary rural life.
