Jules Briggs is a Cleveland, Ohio based artist with a studio in Lakewood's Screw Factory. 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 Carlisle Arts & Learning Center (Carlisle, PA), McCord Gallery (Chicago, IL), Wasmer Gallery and Valley Arts Center Cleveland, OH), Ohio Artist Registry Exhibit (Columbus, OH), and 6 Spin Street Gallery (Cape Town, South Africa) during an artist residency with renowned apartheid photographer and activist, Jenny Altschuler. 

In her free time, Jules likes walking to Lake Erie from her home in Gordon Square Arts District of Cleveland, training her dog, and reading fiction novels.
