Hils Auty

UK

Hils Auty is a printmaker working primarily in linocut and dry point etching. Her practice draws inspiration from a wide range of sources — from the intricate beauty of nature to the charm and detail of old-fashioned book illustration and botanical drawings. She is particularly drawn to the expressive possibilities of colour and the tactile qualities of print, and she views printmaking as a medium with endless potential for exploration.

Hils’s work is diverse in subject and style, unified by a love of process, experimentation, and a deep appreciation for the history and craft of print. Each piece is part of an ongoing journey to push the boundaries of traditional techniques while maintaining a connection to the illustrative traditions that inspires her.
