The story of Annie’s art started with the purchase of a machine. While working traditional industrial jobs, like building truck beds and commercial fabrication, the Hiltons found themselves outsourcing the cutting of customized pieces. They eventually made the decision to buy the machine that would enable them to do the cutting in-house! This is where Annie comes in: The massive piece of machinery was slightly intimidating, to say the least, but she read the simple directions. These promised that if you can use a basic computer, you co use this piece of machinery! Sounds easy enough!
