Artist Statement:
"Like most artists, I have a
need to communicate
pictorially rather than with
words," J. D. Hillberry says,
"I feel I've communicated with
someone when they identify
with the essence of a
particular piece, and it
brings about new thoughts,
feelings or memories."
A natural ability and strong
desire to draw surfaced early
in J. D. Hillberry’s life.
While growing up in Wyoming,
he began developing his own
techniques of blending
charcoal and graphite to give
a photo realistic look to his
drawings. J. D. uses this
monochromatic medium to focus
the viewers attention to the
drama of light, shadow and
texture without the added
influence of color. Throughout
his career, he has tried to
push the limits realistic
expression with drawing. After
moving to Colorado in 1989,
Hillberry began experimenting
with trompe l’oeil drawings.
Traditionally, this type of
artwork is done with oils, but
he has successfully rendered
images so realistically they
fool the eye into thinking
that real objects are
displayed in a shadowbox
frame. Working out of his
studio in Westminster, CO, J.
D. Hillberry continues to
expand the publics perception
of drawing.
