About the artist

’s work brings together printmaking, painting, collage, and weaving to create richly textured surfaces to depict stories from history that have been overlooked, erased, or deliberately silenced. Informed by her experience growing up in Caribbean and African American neighborhoods in South Florida, the artist seeks to memorialize these communities through innovative printmaking techniques. St. Hilaire engages with the long and complex history of the island nation of Haiti, reflecting the lasting effects of colonial rule, foreign occupation, and political struggle. She approaches these narratives by blending historical research with myth, symbolism, and imagination. With compositions built through an intensive printmaking process, layering dozens of impressions made from carved linoleum blocks, St. Hilaire's compositions hold both documented events and legendary figures, allowing fact and fiction to exist side by side.
