Hilary began her photography career in news and travel for The Tico Times while she lived in Costa Rica in the 90’s.
A graduate of the International Center of Photography’s Photojournalism/Documentary Program in 2000, she later assisted the Maine Photo Workshops in Havana. Compelled to share photography with local youth, she developed a photo library and directed the Havana Youth Photo course in 2003.
A recipient of the
ICP/Johnson & Johnson Fellowship in 2002, she completed an assignment on NGOs at the U.S./Mexico border, which led to subsequent foreign assignments on J & J’s social responsibility. In 2005, she accompanied
MAP Int’l. to document assessments and relief efforts in tsunami-affected regions. She has documented the plight and rehabilitation of street children for Casa Alianza/Mexico & Central America. Frequent collaborations with NGO’s have allowed Hilary to strengthen her passion as a socially concerned photographer.
Hilary has exhibited in Costa Rica, Cuba, Guatemala and the U.S.
