Jules Briggs

Jules Briggs is a Detroit-based painter and sculptor. She holds an MA in Philosophy & The Arts from University of Warwick, England, and a BA in Studio Art from DePauw University, Indiana. ​ Following her undergraduate career, Jules worked for two years as a bronze foundry artist at Odiyan Copper Mandala, a small Buddhist monastic community in Northern California. Her countless life-size and miniature sculptures contributed to the revitalization of Tibetan art and have been donated to monasteries abroad. Jules’ time spent at Odiyan influenced her decision to study eastern philosophy for her master’s degree in the context of sacred art creation. ​ Jules' personal paintings and sculptures have appeared in galleries both nationally and internationally. Notable exhibitions include the Ohio Artist Registry Exhibit (Columbus, OH), and a solo exhibition at 6 Spin Street Gallery (Cape Town, South Africa) during an artist residency with renowned apartheid photographer and activist, Jenny Altschuler. ​ Jules recently completed a three-month residency with Feverdream in Tremont, Cleveland, OH this last fall before settling permanently in Detroit, MI.
