Artist Statement

As a being made of the same stuff as everything else around me, I visualize my consciousness like a little bubble of the Universe contemplating its own self. While we wonder who we are and what’s going on, so too does the Universe as a whole, via each one of us. Working in various mediums with my paint brush and laser cutter, I am no more and no less than a little conduit for the curiosity of existence.

About the Artist

Juliet Drake Hossain spent the first part of her creative life in the performing arts, working in music, theatre and film. She obtained a B.F.A. in Performance from Hofstra University in 2002, and professionally acted until the birth of her two children. As an Air Force spouse, she was afforded eclectic experiences while living in the Washington, D.C. area, New York City, Phoenix, San Antonio, Tokyo, Delaware and southern New Jersey. Juliet now works out of her studio in historic downtown Frederick, Maryland, where her favorite tools are her paintbrushes and her Glowforge laser cutter. She is endlessly inspired by her vibrant children, her travels and her theatrical background, and is now focusing on the contemplation of self through the bridging of art and science. She seeks to explore our relationships with each other, and within the cosmos and the laws of nature. Juliet stuffs her pockets with big dreams and invites you along for the journey.
