Hilda Green Demsky
Fine Artist

The artist, Hilda Green Demsky, was born in a small town in Pennsylvania located on the banks of the Susquehanna River. Hilda learned early on about nature’s beauty and the pollution that threatens to destroy it. While growing up on the river’s edge, she recalled several instances in which nature’s elements directly impacted her life and the lives of those in her community.

​

Hilda graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Painting and Design, and moved to New York. Her first job was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art selling postcards. It was just beginning of her art career in Manhattan. Hilda carried her paintings on her head, “butter side up” on the subway, while earning her Master’s Degree at Hunter College. Hilda went on to teach art at a middle school, high school and Manhattanville College.

​

Hilda was commissioned to exhibit her paintings in Mykonos, Greece. Her art called attention to the garbage floating onto Mykonos beaches. She also exhibited paintings at the 50th anniversary conference of the Fulbright Association in Budapest. Her Fulbright Fellowship in Holland was another experience which motivated her to focus on flood waters. After she returned from Holland, Hilda exhibited work about global pollution at several Westchester County and New York galleries including The Rye Arts Center and The Mamaroneck Artists Guild. After this series was fully exhausted, she changed her focus to the natural beauty of our planet, away from the ugliness of garbage.

Currently Hilda has a studio and lives along the Long Island Sound, on the eastern coast of Westchester County, where she continues to express herself and passion for painting.
