Julia Brandis

Julia Brandis received her B.F.A. at Virginia Commonwealth University in 1994. Here she studied painting, sculpture, metal working, jewelry making and glass sculpture.

Through the use of texture, wire work, jewels and free flowing exterior forms, Julia strives to create depth to a medium often referred to as flat glass. She looks to the beauty found in natural lines and forms and translates them into her glassworks. Carefully chosen glass shows the movement of the sky or the iridescence in a pool of water. Autumnal ripples and pale gold antiques reflect the calmness of the mountains as the leaves change colors.
