“Soldering works of art, one piece at a time.” Juliann Whitwell is a stained-glass artist in Charleston, South Carolina. Her journey into the world of stained-glass art began with a simple beginner's class. She was captivated by the vibrant colors; various glass transparencies and the lead came and copper foil techniques. She quickly found herself drawn to the meticulous nature of the craft and the almost meditative state it induced. In 2019 her hobby evolved into a business, transforming her passion into a professional career. One of the most rewarding aspects of her business is the connection with her customers. Custom commissions became a significant part of her work, allowing her to collaborate with clients to create pieces that held personal significance for them. Whether it was a memorial piece or a unique gift, each commission was an opportunity to bring someone's vision to life through stained glass. Always willing to donate her time and art, she has supported many fundraisers and silent auctions. Juliann is a collector of art herself. Various mediums adorn the walls of her home reflecting her interests and creating a welcoming atmosphere. She was a featured artist at a contemporary gallery in Charleston for three years, prior to joining Grand Bohemian Gallery. Her journey from a beginner's class to a successful stained glass business is a testament to the power of following one's passion and the willingness to learn and adapt. Juliann has built a career that fulfills her artistically and professionally, proving that with dedication and perseverance, dreams can indeed become reality.
