Fred Hilliard an artist that I admired from afar long before I ever moved to Seattle, passed away suddenly on Friday, February, 23, 2007. Fred was a fantastic conceptual artist, with a unique style, and clever wit, whose work for Williams, Boeing and other financial and business institutions always lept off the pages of the Wall Street Journal with it’s humor and low key style. My condolences to his family and friends.
