Juliann Jones


Currently prefers working with throw away materials such as aluminum and tin cans, glass and the occasional thrift store find to create sculpture and wall pieces. She also may use found garbage such as metals, fencing, hubcaps, anything that has sculptural value. She makes her home in Livingston Montana with her husband Rainer Krapf and 5 cats, 2 dogs, 2 cockatiels and an aquatic turtle named Mac.

Juliann had a shop on Main Street of Livingston Montana for nearly a decade where she sold mostly cards that she produced from her hundreds of drawings but also sold her paintings and some miscellaneous hand made items.

She will still paint, especially if someone wants her to do a custom work. She loves doing pet portraits and when she paints by choice, she paints about her awe of nature and ecology.



Please visit my store at zazzle.com. Many of my painting and drawing images are available as posters, t-shirts(you pick style and color), ties, cards, aprons, magnets. Come on, visit zazzle.com/1oojoj

Jones made this license plate for Montana Spay & Neuter Task Force. If you live in Montana just go down to your local Motor Vehicle Registration office. Purchase the plate for $20 and that money goes to help retard the population of homeless animals in Montana. Please visit mtspayneutertaskforce.org

This is Juliann. She did NOT make this sculpture- it is however, Rainer and Juliann’s living room furniture.

Who knew a $17 pop rivet gun could change sooooo much?  I love working with garbage. In most of my pieces everything is garbage. There is an exception with the sculptures which stand on a base. The base itself is scrap pieces of rigid insulation from construction sites but I cover it with a thin coat of concrete.

This is my first wall piece. Sunburst One. It is a little over 3 feet across. It took a lot of work. Everything is garbage except the pop rivets used to join the pieces.

This is a hubcap covered in a 3d spiral of scraps of copper and metal and wire. I also used miscellaneous pieces of garbage. The piece is part of a project called Landfill Art. http:www.landfillart.org

It is a project implemented by an artist named Ken Marquis who decided to take 1000 hubcaps from a landfill and have artists make them into art. Please check his project out: www.landfillart.org. There are so many very cool hubcaps.

These are  pieces I made from scrap pieces of copper purchased from a copper supply company. I colored the copper by soaking them in various potions.


Currently I am working with garbage such as tin cans, thrift store items, plastics, and various recycled objects to make sculpture and wall pieces. As soon as I finish some I will post photos. My favorite materials are aluminum cans, tin cans and bottles.
