I’m Hillery Lay and I’m a mixed media artist living in Eastern Oregon.

I use a variety of mediums, spaces, and symbol markers to add depth to my painting practice. I create artwork rooted to my place and my people.

Blending nature with human figures and abstracting both elements allows me to tell the story of my contemporary rural life.
