She was an artist before learning to fly. This perspective becomes a compelling part of the artwork. Aircraft have long been a part of the journey through the years — Stinsons, Maule, C-120, and Helios — all leading to wonderful out-of-the-way places.  Her paintings hang in collections and exhibitions across the country.

Kristin Hill specializes in aviation art, concentrating on fine art oil paintings and custom commissions. Her works depict both the man-made aspects of aviation and the natural environment encountered during flight.

In the skyscapes and landscapes she paints, the fleeting beauty and power of the skies and environment in which we live are captured for repeated enjoyment.

Kristin draws upon her formal education in fine arts, experiences in a family aviation business and a broad diversity of flight experiences to paint the richness of flight and the skies we explore. Her firsthand research includes flights in the high altitude U-2, contemporary military fighters, refueling and transport aircraft; World War II fighters and bombers; contemporary, antique, corporate, aerobatic and soaring aircraft; hang gliders, balloon and the parachute canopy.

Recognized as an Artist Fellow member of the American Society of Aviation Artists, she has been an artist member since 1987, a president of ASAA and an active participant in the U.S. Air Force Art Program since 1980. More than 250 of her original works are included in museum, corporate, private, foreign and U. S. Air Force collections.

A professional artist for 35 years, the body of her work reflects the interests and subjects that have fascinated her  while traveling through life.

She has been an artist since being given her  first crayon.   She works in both 2-D and 3-D.  Series include: airplanes, orchids, dragons, clouds, landscapes, dreamscapes, European towns, Girl Scouting, Savannah architecture, and the kaleidoscope paintings.  Media include: various clay bodies, watercolor, oils, marble, bronze, wood, pen & ink, etc.  She has worked on pieces from a few inches to over 150' x 42'.

Almost half of her plein air paintings have been done at air shows…a bit different from the usual landscapes.

During that time, she has been happily married for 30+ years; moved 11 times; raised 2 brilliant children (aren’t they all!); been active in a number of volunteer organizations (especially Scouting); earned her Associates degree; taught; been a guest lecturer (art, scouting, and lunar samples); and helped build two houses, a barn and a hangar. She has recently become a publisher as well, with her second book in print.

She believes in exploring new interests, trying new things, going to new places and getting as many things as possible on paper, canvas, or in the round.

Noted for her artwork since childhood, Virginia began painting in earnest in the 70’s while attending the Alberta College of Art and Design, Canada.  There she honed her skills in realism and surrealism.

During 35 years of painting, Virginia developed her own unmistakable style in aviation art, combining her favorite WWII era aircraft with time and war worn buildings high over aerial landscapes. Her Warbird series is her homage to the crews that kept them flying as long as they could. She loves these particular aircraft for their beautiful designs, richness of symbolism and history.

Family histories such as her uncle piloting the renowned Lancaster bomber successfully throughout the war, were inspirational. Her father, an RCAF mechanic, went on to a long career with Air Canada, through which she enjoyed childhood flights in Vanguards, North Stars and DC3’s. She is now working towards her pilots’ license and loves her new involvement in the aircraft community, flying to many Canadian and American events. A member of the Canadian Aviation Artists Association and a ‘Fellow’ member of the American Society of Aviation Artists, she took first place at the 2009 ‘Artflight’ competition at the Canada Aviation Museum in Ottawa.
