About the Artist

Visions from the High Desert

Based in Silver City, New Mexico, Hilary Klein paints the living world of the Southwest through a psychedelic lens — jackrabbits and coyotes, bumblebees and beetles, rendered in swirling acrylics that pulse with color and sacred energy.

Each painting is a portal. Animals appear not merely as creatures but as spirit guides, each outlined in glowing neon against fields of deep purple, burning red, and desert gold. The work asks you to look twice — and then to keep looking.

These paintings emerge from long walks in the Gila, from the light that only exists in southwestern New Mexico at dusk, from a deep belief that every creature — from the largest coyote to the smallest beetle — carries its own luminous intelligence.
