Following getting her BA from Saint Francis College which is now Saint Francis University in Loretto, PA and continued studies at University of New Mexico School of Art, and Art Master's Academy in Albuquerque NM, Silversmyth's designer, Julie Hiltbrunner spent 15 years as a professional artist using oil and acrylic mediums, showing and selling her artwork in Albuquerque, Dallas, and Fort Worth. Previous showings of artwork by Julie have been displayed at Janis Bryant Art Centre, the Alpine Gallery and Mo Martre in Fort Worth, the Continental Gallery in Deep Ellum and the MAC (McKinney Avenue Contemporary) Gallery in Dallas, TX. Julie's grandfather was a jeweler. Having access to the tools of the trade allowed Julie to create jewelry for herself and friends since she was a child. Julie began "silversmything" and selling her original sterling silver designs in 2006. Julie enjoys taking part in Fort Worth Gallery Night and South Fort Worth, Inc's Arts Goggle and supporting Arts Fifth Avenue, a non-profit organization dedicated to community arts. Julie shot all the photos of jewelry and designed and maintains the Silversmyth website. This is truly a one woman show made possible by a very supportive husband and son.
