Acclaimed for his evocative Australiana paintings, Raymond Hill has spent years immersed in capturing the essence of the Australian landscape.
His artistic journey has spanned continents, including invitations to work in the United States and immersive experiences in Tuscany, enriching his art with diverse cultural influences.
As a dedicated Plein Air Artist, Raymond paints directly from nature, infusing his works with the true colours and textures of his surroundings — from the serene blue-grey of gum leaves to the vibrant yellow of sunflowers.
His paintings resonate globally, gracing collections in Europe, Canada, the US, Japan, the UK, Ireland, Italy and his native Australia.
Raymond’s prolific career includes numerous solo exhibitions at esteemed venues such as Bright, Melbourne, and Mitchelton Winery, with his work featured in Australian Artist, The Weekly Times, and on ABC's Landline program, as well as in local newspapers.
When not travelling, Raymond can be found in his studio/gallery in Kialla West, where he warmly welcomes visitors, sharing his passion for art and the stories behind his creations.
As Raymond beautifully expresses, “Anyone who has walked a bush track and had their senses tingled by the atmosphere of the sun rising in the morning or trekked the mountain ranges in the glow of the evening light will understand the path of the Plein Air Painter.”
