Sponsored by the de Hilster family
The Artists Wiki is sponsored by the de Hilster family in appreciation of all the artists they have known through the years.
The wiki was created by David de Hilster, a visual artist and computer scientist who saw the need for artists to have a place for their biographies. The family also includes the musical theatre performer Luanda de Hilster and the costume designer Doris de Hilster.
