Sausalito artist Juline Beier has been working in various forms of fiber art for many years but it wasn't until she attended classes at College of Marin that she turned her interest to fiber sculpture.

Her studio has always been in her Sausalito home where she receives critiques and support not only from her husband but her cats and dog.

Her most recent work, which has received critical recognition, is composed primarily by machine-stitching thread onto water-soluble film to create the fragile webs which she then layers or alters by adding other materials.

She finds inspiration from diverse sources that range from popular culture to politics to functional folk art to shapes that seem to appear out of nowhere. Layers of shadow, texture and materials invite the viewer to look deeper on different levels.
