Julie Rose DeFeo
In 1999, Julie began studies in weaving, surface design, felting, beading techniques and glass bead making. Working with molten glass over a torch captured her interest and she focused primarily on torch work. After two years of torch work, Julie became the staff glass instructor for TLD Design Center and Gallery in Chicago. Julie has taught and shown her work at national shows and art centers, including the Taos Institute for Glass Arts and the annual Tucson Bead show.
Julie began creativity coaching in 2005 under the instruction of nationally-respected creativity coach Eric Maisel. In 2006, Julie founded and launched The Creativity Continuum, a working support group for women artists working in a variety of mediums. Julie curated the group’s annual art show for three consecutive years.
Julie is currently creating a new body of work which focuses on the sculptural nature of glass beads combined with hand-forged metal components.
