Hilary Walsh is a true creative. She is constantly sharing with the world her idiosyncratic vision of beauty, through dynamic and utterly striking photographs. Walsh is one who seems bound to no one genre, from fashion photography like her romantic, sun-kissed shots for Dôen, to her black and white “Vessel-Series”, depicting intimate landscapes of female bodies. And yet, all her work seems seamlessly tied together through an embrace of imperfection and authenticity. Moments of life’s transitory, human, magnificence. When Walsh was inspired to shoot our Two-Dawson linens with talented photo-stylist and art director Dane Holweger, (along with his beautiful children Ziggy and Nola as the models) we couldn't wait to see what kind of magic they would create. The collaboration is awe-inspiring. Photos that are comparable to still-life paintings, serene and yet animated by the rich and vivid colors of life.
