Hilary Prince (born 1945 in Johannesburg, South Africa) is a landscape artist. She lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, where she emigrated in 1979 after a period spent in Great Britain.

Artistic practice
Having trained as an abstract painter, Prince moved into landscape painting after her arrival in Alberta as she felt this was "more in keeping with [her] artistic feeling" and felt the need to connect with the Canadian land itself. She paints large pictures using watercolour, acrylic and oil. Her works depict the wide open spaces and skies of the Alberta landscape, which she has said reminds her of the South African bush, with whicih she became familiar during her childhood. Prince is interested in conveying a specific sense of place and time in her paintings, without being too illustrative.

Exhibitions
Prince's work has been shown in several solo and group exhibitions, mainly in the city of Edmonton. Solo exhibition venues include the Scott Gallery, Front Gallery, and the Virginia Christopher Galleries.

Public Collections
Her paintings are also held in numerous public collections, including at the University of Alberta, the Art Gallery of Alberta, and the Canada Council Art Bank, and various corporate collections including Texaco, Coca Cola, and Deloitte & Touche Vancouver.

As part of a public art project intended to showcase works by Alberta artists, Hilary Prince's painting "There is a River", which depicts the North Saskatchewan Valley, is on display at Edmonton City Hall. It hangs in the River Valley room, a meeting room which takes its name from the painting. The painting is one of eight works of art on display at Edmonton City Hall, chosen from more than 400 submissions.
