Hilary Rochow

Hilary Rochow is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based out of San Antonio, Texas. She is best known for her drawings of impactful animal figures drawn in black ink on clean paper backgrounds. Her practice includes ceramic sculpture and functional ware. These sculptures and vessels offer a medium with which to explore form and decoration playfully, and a place for Hilary to employ her attention to detail and texture in a 3D format. Hilary holds a Bachelors of Industrial Design from Auburn University. Her training and experience in design informs her understanding of visual communication, and her lifelong adoration of the natural world weaves its way into her choice of animal and plant subjects.

Most recently, Hilary is a recipient of the Individual Artist Grant from the City of San Antonio for the 2025 grant cycle. The body of work she is making as a grantee will be shown December of 2025 in a solo exhibition at Sala Diaz. Hilary’s drawings and sculptures have been featured in The San Antonio Current as well as Glasstire. 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 newly minted Modern In San Antonio (M!SA) Advisory Panel, and is a founding member of Clay SA, a ceramic-focused studio tour and showcase premiering November of 2025. Hilary operates her own gallery in the Southtown Arts District, Rojo, as well as curates for Under Construction, a two person exhibition concept. Hilary is most often found in her Southtown studio alongside her two loving dogs and one very bad cat.
