Career

Hill was born in Shipton, Eastern Townships, Canada East, the son of a marble cutter. He began to carve marble in his father's workshop, and worked there for eight years becoming chief sculptor,[4] then went to Paris in 1889 to study at the École nationale des beaux-arts with Alexandre Falguière, and Jean Paul Laurens,[5] and with Henri Chapu at the Académie Julian and Jean-Antoine Injalbert at the Académie Colarossi.[3] He returned to Canada about 1894 and worked with the architects William Sutherland and Edward Maxwell.[3] By 1897, was producing monuments. In 1902 he had won his first commission, the Strathcona and South African soldiers' memorial.[3] Many commissions followed such as Sir George-Étienne Cartier (1912), marking the centenary of Cartier's birth.
