Juliette Choné

I am a French visual artist who moved from Paris to East Bay in December 2015. I studied Art History, I got an Art and Craft Diploma in stained glass and a Visual Art Post-graduate degree at the University Panthéon-Sorbonne. I also studied Sciences for Restoration and Conservation of Cultural Patrimony. Before leaving France, I was dividing my time between exhibitions, teaching visual arts and research in a Ph.D. in visual art and aesthetic about the concept of non-separation between Animal and Human Kingdoms. I have to give up my thesis, but I continue to explore this subject in my creation – at the same time both poetical and political.

I always love the paper, sensitive as a skin and I found in the delicacy of etching and collagraph the perfect medium to express the same ideas as my drawings with ink or pen – meaning to communicate the visceral and sincere power, fragility and resiliency of living. I particularly like to add drawing to my prints and thus give them a new life by telling new stories.
