Zachary Hill

About me:

Hello My name is Zach and I am an aspiring artist/art student. I am also a musician, but as of late, my art has come first. I am 25 years old and live in Southern California in a town called Santa Clarita. About my artwork: My work is a celebration of shape, color, composition and expression. I feel that I am interested in world issues, political events, and other things like that. But I haven't learned how to paint that on a canvas yet, its easier, or I prefer to paint the natural color and energies around me. The area of the world I live in is aesthetically pleasing to me and I like to use that in my work. My Inspiration: Natural colors I see, movements of music I listen too. The color schemes of man made structures collide with natural earth made colors in an interesting way to me as well. I am very into the process and actions of the painting itself more than the finished result. My Process: The most important part of the process for me, or the part I believe i have the most mental control over is the colors I choose and the tools I use to apply the color. After that my process becomes very intuitive. I do have ideas of shapes and composition going into a painting, but I don't let planning interfere with the process, I let music, movement, energy, and other forces plan and form the composition.
