Juli Rae Brown

Juli Rae Brown is an independent artist and owner of Luz y Sombra Fiber Art Co. After fifteen years as a language teacher, she started this little creative business to break from the routine of life and take a chance on doing what she truly loves. She finds so much satisfaction working and creating with her hands. She finds inspiration from nature, literature, and travels, which have taken her all over the world including Chile, Ecuador, Turkey, and India.

In addition to making quilts and writing quilt patterns, she is currently working on designing her own surface pattern collection in the hopes of one day releasing her own pattern line. When she’s not at her sewing machine, you can usually find her on a yoga mat, riding a bicycle, or hanging out in a hammock. She currently lives in Seattle, WA with her partner, rescue dog, and soon to be new little human (expected to arrive September 2021).
