About the Author

A natural abihty and strong desire to

draw surfaced early in J.D. Hillberry's

life. As a boy, he began developing his

own techniques of blending charcoal

and graphjte to achieve a realistic

look in his drawings. Throughout his

career, he has tried to push rhe limits

of realistic expression with these

medjums.

J.D. has shown his work in some

of the most prestigious invitational

shows 10 the country, including the

Artists of America show in Denver,

Colorado, and the Great American

Artists exhibition at the Cincinnati Museum Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. He

has taughta number ofworkshops and has conducted demonstrations at many

outdoor art fairs, mcluding the nationally acclaimed Cherry Creek Arts Festi-

val. Some of Hillberry's drawings have been reproduced as limited edition

priors rhat are sold in galleries and frame shops across the country. His work

has been featured in national publications such as The Artist's Magazine,

Revue and Western Horseman Magazine. J.D. is also featured in a book about

illusion in art rhat is published and distributed in Europe.

Acknowledgments

Everyone who has spent enough time drawing, painttng or sculpting has expe-

rienced that slightly altered state ofCOIISC/ousness that comes when you really

get involved with what you're doing. You are not aware of the passage of time,

and conscious thought disappears. This meditative state is the right side of the

brain at work. To explain art techmques, the left side ofthe bram must continu-

ally interrupt the right stde, figure out what it is doing and transform it into

words. This constant shifting of mental stares is like going from a hot rub to

a cold shower and back again. T would like to express my gramude to my

edttor, Joyce Dolan, for keeping me in the cold shower long enough to explam

my methods. l would abo ltke to thank Rachel Wolf, for recommending me

to North Light Books.

A special thanks to my parents, Darwin and Ruth Hillberry, for encourag-

ing me to always pursue my interests. I would also like to acknowledge my

brother, Tony, for being my best friend, spiritual advisor and occasional

model.

Thanking my wtfe is something l don't do often enough. My daughter was

six weeks old when I told my wife l wanted to try to make a living as a full-

time artist. [ owe a great deal to her for believing in me. In the beginning,

neither of us realiLed how much 1 would need her to make it work. Without

her help in running the business, l would be forced to get a "real job."

Finally, l would like to thank the collectors of my work for their support

through the years and my students for their interest in my techniques.
