about illuminata

L ight is fascination, attraction, a beacon, it is life. Light travels for eons before our existence, we see it after the millennia have past and the fleeting moment is gone. Julie Conway is an artist and designer revealing her perspective of the phenomenon of light through glass.
Illuminata can work with you to create the luxury lighting experience for any space. The commissions of illuminated installations range from luxury hotels, bars, restaurants, award-winning homes and museum exhibitions.
Transformation of space and environment. Bring
LIGHT
and beauty into the world.
Julie’s studio practice of 20+ years has yielded a collection of bespoke lighting elements and site-specific installation.
The Illuminata collection is an intentional juxtaposition of elegant blown glass forms and industrial elements surrounding patterns of light and shadow that is unique to Julie’s artistic expression, merging concepts of art installation with functional design. The goal is transformation of space with light.
Julie conceives all site-specific original designs, and also executes their fabrication in the hotshop with her team. She crafts the suspension systems, creates the blueprints for armatures, and integrates the technical electrical components. She communicates and coordinates with teams of electricians, installers, architects, designers and clients to achieve her artistic vision to her specifications.
“Illuminata” the name of Julie’s studio, stems from the Italian Renaissance group of thinkers and artists who expanded consciousness and brought enlightenment to the public. Enlightenment is inspiring to her from both the spiritual journey as well as simply turning the switch on.
What are your lighting needs? Illuminata can transform your space. Sparkle on!
