“I grew up in a place, with a people, who were not always comfortable with outwardly expressing their emotions,” says Hilary Hertzler. “Their hands, and what they did with them, were an expression of their heart – whether that was in the kitchen or in the garden or in the repair and building of things or in the tending of fields or in the mending and making of clothes. It is something that holds a place in my heart and my creative practice.”

Hilary is drawn to working with beads. “Beads come in every shape, size, texture, material, and color you can imagine. It is literally an endless kaleidoscope of opportunities for play and expression. This diversity is also important, because I am really interested in playing with texture, combining materials that are unexpected, and pushing color in my work.”

Which word or phrase do you most overuse?

Like. It’s embarrassing to admit, but it is the truth.

What do you consider to be your greatest achievement?

Really, truly, learning to see difficult times as a catalyst and opportunity for change, for growth. It can be incredibly hard in the moment, but it’s been a very important lesson for me.

What is your motto?

Kindness begets kindness. I believe strongly in the ripples we send out into the world.
