Juliett Choné is a French visual artist who moved from Paris to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2015. After studying Art History, Juliette went on to receive her Art Professions Diploma in stained glass and a Visual Arts Postgraduate degree from Panthéon-Sorbonne University in Paris. An expert in stained-glass restoration, she has worked on famous French monuments like the Chartres Cathedral and royal Sainte-Chapelle. Juliette now focuses strictly on visual arts through her own creations, research and teaching. She has shared her work in more than 30 solo and group shows.Juliette’s work, at the same time critical and poetic, questions the concepts of nature and culture, and more specifically, the limits between humans and nature, through the notion of non-separation and metamorphosis. Her art shows a world where boundaries tend to disappear and humans search for their lost animality.
