artist and designer

Artist and designer, Jane Hilst, studied art at the Rhode Island School of Design and while traveling throughout Europe and Latin America.

Jane works in large scale oils and at present is a figurative painter who has had a feature-artist show at the Artist Association of Nantucket and a showing at the Thomas Moore Health and Spirituality Conference.

In addition to facilitating collaborative art workshops "Inner Connections" at thespace, Jane is a self-taught designer who has built and renovated several houses on Nantucket Island, where she moved in 1969 originally to become a fisherman.

She says, "Nantucket has taught me to have an aesthetic eye as much as any formal schooling has. Man has been making art long before the foundation of Universities as it is one of his first responses after survival; some of the most breath-taking art of the ages comes from the cave-dwellers. To let the joy of our creative connection flow we need only to play and say yes!"
