The mission: To bring light and beauty to the world.  Julie Conway, glass artist & lighting designer, is the founding owner of ILLUMINATA ART GLASS DESIGN LLC, a custom glassworks studio offering bespoke, luxurious custom lighting & sculptural art glass installations. Julie’s passionate collaboration with architects, designers & clients results in extraordinary hand-made, illuminated glassworks. Her spontaneous & elegant designs amplify molten glass and its properties to refract & reflect light. Julie’s years of apprenticeship with international glass masters forged her dedicated studio practice using traditional glass techniques infused with a modern design aesthetic. The talented team of ILLUMINATA brings years of expertise to each hand-crafted piece, to create this unique collection of exquisite lighting. All glassworks are signed by the artist & part of the original ILLUMINATA collection. Julie is also the founder of BioGlass.org, dedicated to the development of renewable and bio-sustainable fuel sources to produce glass, thereby helping to protect the environment and the future existence of glass arts.
