Darrell Hill's (1941-2013) are as diverse as the Hawaiian paradise in which he lived – beaches, florals, tropics, landscapes and beautiful native people – but the "Hill touch" is unmistakable in each of his works. Strong contrast, bold use of color, and light with surface texture were hallmarks of Hill's paintings. He had a gift for observation and the ability to paint with both freshness and emotion. Darrell Hill paintings, which are featured in collections worldwide, capture the moment of light that often reflects a story. They are described as colorful and comforting, warm and inviting and sometimes, courageous. As demand for his work grew, it became necessary for Hill to devote his full energies to gallery sales and the creation of larger paintings. Many of his works are over nine feet. Since making that decision he enjoyed outstanding success in his career; which now spanned more than two decades. In addition to his beautiful work in oil, Hill also works in watercolor and drawing.

Darrell Hill has had numerous successful one-man shows. His works have been featured at exhibitions at prestigious locations throughout the Hawaiian islands as well as galleries in California, Oregon and Texas. These include Security National Bank; College of the Sequoias; Lahaina Galleries in Newport Beach and San Francisco, CA and Bend, OR; and the Brooks Institute School of Fine Arts in Santa Barbara, CA. His work was also selected and featured in Salon International, Greenhouse Gallery of Fine Art, San Antonio, TX.
