Fillmore’s tightly controlled photorealistic style depicting surrealistic imagery is intended to celebrate humanity's ability to overcome, change, and transform.

Fillmore’s intricately detailed paintings, each of which takes a month to create, are autobiographical metaphors. Through her work, she aims to start a discussion about mental health and its inherent stigmas and challenges. Fillmore's artworks embody the beauty of imperfection and the suggestion that childhood adversities can be opportunities for growth.

Fillmore says of her creative process, “I paint the things I do partially as a way to take the parts of my past that once made me feel isolated and turn them into opportunities to connect.”

Now based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Fillmore exhibits nationally. See less
