Hilton is a cum laude graduate of the Atlanta College of Art (2003) and co-founder of the Atlanta artist collective Dos Pestañeos, which organized "Use Your Illusion I" in 2003 (hailed by the local weekly Creative Loafing as “one of the best locally produced exhibitions of the year”), "This is the Future" at Saltworks Gallery in 2004, and "Every Last Day" in NYC, Miami and Washington DC. She has exhibited widely and has been the recipient of numerous awards. In May 2005,You are My Salvation, an exhibition space for collaboration and events, opened in her studio in Manhattan. As an artist, Hilton curates, collaborates, designs, writes and walks. She is a recent recipient of the “Good Earthling Award”, presented in the form of a grant by the artist Harrell Fletcher and CalArts. Recently, Hilton completed a 60-mile walk in the Southern United States, recognizing the walk a slave named Henry made to announce the birth of her great-great grandmother.
