Artist Statement
I am primarily a jewelry designer, but I also work in fabric, yarn, and abstract marbling on paper. I am continuing my line of Art Is Healthy T shirts which are each hand painted.
While getting my Master of Arts in Religion at Yale Divinity School, I investigated the similarities between the creative experience and the religious experience. I find that making things is meditative and absorbing like nothing else.
I have been creating jewelry and things knitted and crocheted for over 25 years.
In my jewelry I work with gemstones, pearls, glass, crystal and sterling and I am always creating new designs. I get inspired by other Etsy sellers, other crafter's blogs, and just the materials themselves. At CWOS this year I will have lots of jewelry and t shirts for sale, and more.
My work can be found at Wave Gallery in New Haven, I also have an online shop at Etsy www.Julianascreations.etsy.com
My work has been featured in Beadstyle Magazine.
