Julie Anne Mihalisin (b. 1962) studied jewelry at Tyler School of Art and as a graduate student at London's Royal College of Art. Mihalisin quickly developed a fascination with the contrasting properties of glass and metal. The artist uses the technique of "kiln-slumped glass jewelry," in which a metal framework that helps shape the glass is in turn entrapped in the glass. Her work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, the Corning Museum of Glass, and the Museum of Arts and Design.
