Adjacent to my home and studio, Point Reyes National Seashore offers abundant reference material for artistic research. My newest work combines personal and social imagery humoring overwhelming statistics indicating our perpetuation of a nearing “6th global mass extinction,” accelerated by business as usual. The sea urchin has been a referenced object of my work; Having survived previous extinctions, they are an icon, time capsule of circular energy, and mandala predating our fossil records.
My paintings and installations offer conversation critiquing and celebrating humanity’s relationship to the Sea. I experiment with pigment, polymers, and resin on wood, canvas, walls, and installations/shrines incorporating existing raw architecture and or temporary spaces with various styles and techniques.

A native of Sonoma County, California, Jules graduated high school while living in San Francisco. Jules studied ceramics while pursuing her BA and MA in Child Development at CSU Sacramento.
