Hi there! 

​

I'm Julia, the artist behind HGBG.

​

I was once a professor of French literature--a very serious academic--but not anymore!

​

A reviewer once called my Frankenstein of the French Revolution book un chef d’œuvre and compared it to un ouvrage de dame like intricate lace--la dentelle des 'jours d'Angles' to be precise. (See the preface of the French edition for this lovely comment!)

​

Little did he know that I was always a textile, tactile artist at heart, ever since I started sewing at age 15.

​​

Now living in my hometown Seattle again, I've created this business--and related literary activities in the city--to share the good feelings!  (See local events under "Sustainability.")
