Chun Yan (Kim) Hilyard
Born in China, Chun Yan was raised in a family that had a deep appreciation for the arts.  Her father, a well respected watercolor artist was a great inspiration for her and encouraged her to develop her abilities as an artist.  (see paintings by Pei-Ke Chai, Chun Yans Father)

Working mainly in pastels and oils, Chun Yan employs her classically trained drawing skills along with her unique sense of composition and color to create stunningly beautiful still lifes, landscapes and portraits.  Fresh clean color as well as a keen focus on the emotion of the subject matter are the hallmarks of Chun Yan's work.

In China, Chun Yan attended college and earned her Art degree.  Her art was shown at China's Five State Fine Art Exhibit and later was accepted as part of the permanent Collection at Ning Xia College.  She now resides with her family in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey and is a member of the Ocean City Fine Arts League.
Chun Yan's art has been exhibited locally at the Ocean City Art Center and the Ocean City Fine Arts League.
