Bio

Juliann creates via a multidimensional practice founded in her expression as a poet, blending across modalities of visual work, performance, sound, and meditative engagement.

The creations are ephemeral, time-based, and multi-sensorial, often including organic and intentionally delicate materials and processes. Rooted in her heritage, concepts of eastern philosophy, spirituality, and western design play a significant role in this practice. Through this framework, Juliann explores themes of nature, identity, existence, communication, and harmony that instigate conversations about shared human experience.

Influenced by a background of living within two cultures, she integrates the expression of each medium with the perception of this rich cultural inheritance, bridging gestures of bi-cultural expression through innovative modern artistic interpretation. Juliann creates a hybridization of practice specific to each project series, responding in dialogue to the shifting narrative moment to engage audiences, drawing on folklore, literature, and concepts of fragile impermanence.

Her hope is to connect with individuals at a personal and fundamental level in a sense of shared community and quiet emotional resonance, regardless of ethnicity, upbringing, or worldview.
