Hilary Greenwald is an artist originally from Pennsylvania whose art mediums range from acrylic painting, wood burning, mixed-media glass mosaics, and pen-and-ink. She was interested in art from an early age and began to seriously pursue art in high school. In 2009 she attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania for art studio and art history. Then, in 2016 she became an active member of the Indiana Art Association for three years serving on the board as the secretary and scholarship chair. During that time, she won awards in the Annual IAA Spring Shows held at the Artist Hand Gallery and Annual Open Arts Shows in 2016-2018 for her mixed-media glass painting and mosaic work. Also, Hilary has sold artworks in multiple venues such as craft shows, hospitals, and restaurants.
In 2019, Hilary moved to West Virginia and began studying Biblical Counseling/Women’s Ministries at Appalachian Bible College where she learned to use art in counseling practice and church ministry. In the four years she has attended, Hilary has worked with the Music Department for stage art and design for their annual concerts. During this time she had art for sale in the Love Hope Arts Center for the Arts in Fayetteville and was a member of the Beckley Art Center.
In 2024 Hilary graduated from Appalachian Bible College and traveled north to Maine where she discovered her joy for using art in camp ministry and writing art curriculum. While living in Maine she was inspired by the natural beauty of the ocean to the south and the mountains to the west. In January she moved to Maine where she now resides and hopes to further connect with the art community and continue to use art in ministry and in teaching. She currently has artwork in the Full Circle Artisan Gallery in Cornish, ME.
Part of Hilary’s story is that she is a brain injury survivor whose traumatic brain injury in 2024 led her to staying in the state of Maine both during her recovery, but now also in using her story and her artwork to advocate and help others who are also in the brain injury community. She is a hope ambassador/volunteer with Hope Survives.
