Hildegarde Haas's woodcuts, which lean toward rhythmic and calligraphic abstraction, were included in the exhibition "Young American Printmakers" at the Museum of Modern Art, New York in 1953. She exhibited nationally at juried exhibitions and her work frequently drew comments by critics highlighting these shows. The physical demands of carving her own blocks and hand printing each impression were too great so after seven years she put down her knives and gouges and exchanged them for brushes.
