Abby Williams Hill in Place Show

Abby Williams Hill in Place explores Hill’s sense of home through paintings, drawings, writing, and geography. Hill’s physician husband lived and practiced in Tacoma, and their family traveled widely, but Abby Hill was not particularly interested in city life. Instead, she created a series of adventurous camps, homes, and travels where she felt her children (and a few others) could play and learn in nature. Hill’s artwork from that time gives a view into the idealized world that Hill saw and wanted to see, and deeply informed her art practice throughout her life.
