About the Artist

Hi there!

Thank you for stopping by my website! I'm Julie Hilboldt, the artist behind Hilboldt Studios. 

Ever since I can remember I've been a bit of an artist...hence the photo below.  Yes, that kid is really me! But I'm willing to bet that drawing didn't even make it on the fridge. Although I always managed to keep art around me, I didn't pursue art full time until 2019. 

I'm from St. Louis and graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in Marketing. I incorporated art into my routine through a Fine Arts Minor and gallery internships, but ultimately obtained a digital marketing job upon graduation. Let's just say it didn't take long for me to realize that the corporate world wasn't for me.  At that point, I was ready to go back to school.

In January of 2019, I began my pursuit for a Master of Fine Arts at Fontbonne University. Studying painting and drawing at Fontbonne was so rewarding. I had some of the most dedicated professors who not only immensely improved my artistic abilities, but also provided inspiration through their encouragement and dedication. 

I graduated with my MA in 2020 and my MFA in the Spring of 2021. Afterwards I  balanced my own personal art practice with teaching art. I was lucky enough to teach both elementary students as well as college level students. 

By fall of 2021 I started the process of opening my own gallery. For a year I created and showed my work in the downtown Clayton area of St. Louis. I loved getting to share my art with individuals in person and meet so many wonderful artists in my own hometown. 

After a year in my gallery, I decided to go back to a private studio to focus on my art. I've loved getting to experience these different sides of my art career and I'm looking forward to everything coming next.
