Hayley Stillings

Visual Art – Boston

Utilizing vibrant inks, watercolors, acrylic, and collage, I create depictions of natural forms that contemplate larger themes related to the environment, death, sex, gender, race and identity. My work is deeply personal and yet also receptive to the interpretation of the viewer. As a figurative artist I hope to de-stigmatize the nude body while also engaging the viewer to form personal and political connections to the imagery I create. By mirroring our raw and imperfect human nature I manifest both reflective and transformative emotions which probe the larger systems and structures to which we all subscribe.
