“As both an architect and artist working in a busy architecture firm, I’m focused on modern design,” Hill said.
An exhibition of his art titled “Cosmic Hymn – Not the Non-Existent” is on view in the Meadows Gallery through Oct. 18.
The exhibition is centered in the name “Nasadiya Sukta,” a hymn that represents the origin of the universe and the nature of creation.
Hill spoke about his work during a reception in the gallery on Sept. 19 that was attended by students, staff and community members.
“My life is my art,” Hill said.

His life in architecture and painting has been a guide to his art.
“It’s natural for my painting work to explore abstract principle,” Lee said during the gallery talk.
His art has been acquired by multiple businesses, including hotels, airlines and architectural firms.
The reception concluded with Hill thanking those in attendance for their interest and support and people touring the exhibit.
