Growing up amid a family of artists in Trujillo, Peru—a restored colonial city brimming with exquisite art and architecture—Kilpatrick dreamed of becoming an artist at a young age.
Eventually, a yearlong sojourn to Europe launched her ideas into action as she was inspired by the Continent’s great museums. Here, quaint flower markets, doorways and windows became her subjects as she set up her easel in plazas and on street corners. But it was her first year living in the U.S. that really got her going. With nothing to do but wait for a work permit, Kilpatrick began painting daily.
Fascinated by the beauty found in nature, Kilpatrick’s oil paintings are primarily landscapes, local scenes and places that “speak to her soul.” She prefers to work outdoors and standing up because it affords her a better perspective. “My paintings reflect what touches my senses, what makes me laugh inside, and makes my heart jump with excitement and anticipation,” she says.
Artist Hilda Kilpatrick has been featured at several Ventura ArtWalk events at Accolades Gallery and the Buenaventura Gallery. She is one of 11 artists selected to paint a violin promoting the 2005 Ventura Music Festival. Entitled, “Two Trees,” Kilpatrick’s violin painting has been featured in several publications including the Los Angeles Times. Kilpatrick’s paintings are in many private collections around the world. She feels her style has been enhanced by her extensive travel throughout France, Italy, Greece and Peru, and that life should be lived as an adventure.
