• ROWAN BAILLIE HILL

Rowan is an artist, graphic designer and educator living in Canmore, Alberta, Canada.

As an artist, Rowan is interested in the events and concepts of everyday life. She is motivated by form and value, and is excited to explore abstract and impressionist design elements. While working mainly in oils, Rowan is also versed in acrylic, watercolour, collage, print making and ceramics.

“At the end of the day, I hope to share a personal sentiment that the viewer can relate to, and see elements of their own story within.”

Rowan enjoys the new challenge of graphic design to bring digital ideas to life and to help others realize their project’s creative vision. She has recently completed a Graphic Design program where she learned how to harness Adobe Creative Cloud possibilities and explored design history and contemporary applications.

As an art and design educator, Rowan seeks to balance her students’ skill building and knowledge acquisition with their development of creative problem solving skills and finding their personal artistic voice. She finds her students’ enthusiasm contagious and feels privileged to be part of their journey.

As a signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, Rowan has participated in numerous group and juried shows and her work is in private collections across Canada and the US.
