Her artistic focus has been exploring the versatility of glass stringer drawing techniques, smoking accessories, fine detail sculpture, jewelry, and many custom commissions.

Born and raised in Austin, Texas -- Hillary has always been an unconventional artist at heart. She attended McCallum Fine Arts Academy and explored every avenue of art classes they had to offer, eventually pursuing her glassblowing apprenticeship at age 16 through one of her teachers. She was encouraged to display her earliest pendants in the school library and small local shops around town and after graduating high school, she relocated to Boulder, Colorado with the art collective she apprenticed with to continue pursuing her passion for glass art. Living in Colorado as a teenage apprentice didn’t come without its own set of life challenges; between the timing of two different natural disasters, she had her first child at 19 years old, she apprenticed until 2013 when when deciding to pursue becoming an independent glass artist. Working hard as a new parent and settling into a home studio, she eventually built up her own work discipline through bulk wholesale production orders and glass distributors. Over the years with consistent dedication to the stringer drawing technique, her disc flip spoon & chillum work have generated a large demand for custom pieces, carving a unique path for her artwork to be easily recognized and attainable to a wide spectrum of customers while also allowing her the opportunity to express herself.
