Hilary Rochow is a multidisciplinary artist and designer

based out of San Antonio, Texas. Her practice revolves around an investigation of grief, memory, and connectivity via texture and emotive animal figures. She is best known for her large scale archival ink drawings on heavy, smooth surface paper. For the past several years she has been exploring how her interest in layered mark making can exist off the wall. These explorations involve ceramic sculpture as well as experimental drawings and sculpture with rice paper. Hilary holds a Bachelor of Industrial Design from Auburn University. Her training and experience in design informs her understanding of visual communication. Her lifelong adoration of the natural world weaves its way into her choice of animal and plant subjects. 

Most recently, Hilary was a recipient of the Individual Artist Grant from the City of San Antonio for the 2025 grant cycle. The body of work she made as a grantee was shown in December of 2025 in a solo exhibition at Sala Diaz. Hilary’s drawings, sculptures, and words on her practice have been featured in Glasstire, The San Antonio Current, and other local publications. Her drawings have been published in Passage, an online arts publication based in Dallas. She has shown work at multiple galleries including FL!GHT, Flax Gallery, Space C7, Ornamental Cabbage, and Mercury Project. Beyond her art practice, Hilary teaches a variety of media and subjects at UTSA Southwest. She serves as the art advisor for the Modern In San Antonio (M!SA) Advisory Panel, and is a founding member of Clay SA, a ceramic-focused studio tour and showcase which premiered in November of 2025. Hilary operates her own gallery, ROJO,  in the Southtown Arts District, as well as curates for Under Construction, a two person exhibition concept. Hilary is most often found in her Southtown studio alongside her animal companions — one friendly dog and one very bad cat.
