Hill is influenced by artists such as Lee Bontecou, Mary Beth Edelson, Tischan Hsu, and Elizabeth Murray. Hill’s paintings have recently taken the form of sun-scapes, lunar-scapes, and robots, her paintings collage many disparate themes ranging from cyborgs and science fiction, to the 1970s Pattern and Decoration Art Movement.
