I made “In Honor” for all the supportive females around me, whether that be in physical form, heavenly spirit, or the ultimate Mother Earth energy. I started this piece as a tribute to Mount Tahoma and Juliet Maurer, who is no longer part of this physical space, but who loved to hike. I also learned about Wendy Woldenberg of WEND Jewelry and their dream of starting this wonderful jewelry store and gallery after going on a 93 mile Wonderland Trail hike along the base of Mount Tahoma. To me, this piece is strong, powerful, and emotional, just like the mountain. Please visit morelifelesswaste.com to see some of Juliet’s inspiring musings on the world, her hikes, and her photographs.

After relocating from Seattle to NYC where she lived from 2016-2019, she moved back to the Pacific Northwest to recover from a sudden brain cancer diagnosis. She combines her love for traveling and visual storytelling with her desire to spread a message and document the changing environment through art.
“La Vie en Rose” is a nod to her love for French culture and her passion for music. The mixed media pieces in this show depict seeing life through rose-colored glasses, or the experience of finding joy and staying positive despite life’s ups and downs.
