Art by Karol Hilker

Karol Hilker’s paint is built up in layers of color to create an environment for the figures. She likes to show the despair, hope, tension, love, and passion that we all experience through her marks and images. Her paintings show the chaos and balance we can create in our lives.

Karol has had the joy of being a full-time artist her entire life and recently moved to Hayward, CA.  She loves exploring the art world around her and learning from others.  She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and a Bachelor of Science in Art Education from the University of TN, Knoxville. Karol has won juried shows and has been in many group and one woman shows across the country. Her artwork and murals are in private homes and businesses in over 21 states.  She loves hearing what people see in her work and how her images affect them.
