About Hillary Serota Needle

Hillary Serota Needle is a contemporary realist painter based in Long Island, NY, whose work in oils is reflective of still life, architecture, flora, landscape and street scenes that she’s photographed in her travels. As inspired as she is by a change of scenery, the beauty of Long Island offers unsurpassed opportunities to create. The serenity of the East End, whether it’s on one of the undulating sea shores or in a bright lavender field, brings her to the canvas. Butterflies and birds take sanctuary in her backyard and she’s delighted to capture a moment of stillness amidst the frenetic flapping of wings.

She has attracted collectors across the country and her work has appeared in numerous shows and juried exhibitions. She is an active member of the Huntington Arts Council, Art League of Long Island, LIMArts, and the Smithtown Arts Council. Her work can be found at Art Studio Hamptons Gallery, Westhampton, NY.

Food, Glorious Food!

"Sitting down to enjoy delicious food and drink is one of life’s great gifts. My love for painting intricate realistic subjects combined with everyday indulgences feeds more than my soul.  It’s a true feast for the eyes with a pop of whimsy for the viewer."

Water and Sky

“The sense of calm that is evoked when looking at water and sky is a well-documented phenomenon. It’s a joy to capture the calming properties of blue spaces and the restorative effects of nature.  The depth of water and the vastness of the sky against the land contribute to a feeling of peace and well-being. It’s an instant deep breath for the eyes and mind."
