Hilary Gent graduated from Kent State University in 2003 with a Bachelor in Fine Arts degree with a concentration on painting. She spent several years working in special events with Pieter Bouterse Studio in many creative capacities, always painting in her spare time. She opened her own gallery in 2009 at the 78th Street Studios. HEDGE Gallery features the work of emerging Cleveland artists and hosts innovative special events. Gent’s paintings are part of the Cleveland Clinic collection as well as many private collections.

This installation is collaboration between the Shaker Historical Society and the Maria Neil Art Project. The Maria Neil Art Project is a venture created by avid art collectors and patrons, John Farina and Adam Tully. They started the business in early 2012 as a way to bring art to nontraditional spaces and encourage collecting. In September 2013 they opened a gallery space as a way to not only better promote the many unrepresented and underrepresented artists, but also be a part of enhancing the community they live in. Some of their recent exhibitions have included Michelangelo Lovelace, Liz Maugans, Lori Kella and Bridget Ginley.
