ABOUT

Hillary Wilson Headshot.png
Life

Raised by an endlessly supportive, adventure loving family, Hillary has a deep appreciation for effective storytelling and exploring the natural world. She received a master's degree in Medical Illustration from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and spends her professional time striking a balance between medical and general illustration.

 

Hillary is experienced in researching and presenting complex medical and scientific information through visual media. She is particularly invested in celebrating the sheer breadth of human variation and making science and medicine more accessible to general audiences. When she is not illustrating, she spends as much time as possible cooking, staying active, tending to her plant collection, and snuggling with her dog, Sebastian.
