Enter The Incandescent Palace
Between reality and fiction exists my landscape where inspiration emanates a creative process emitting the arts. Each reflected dimension leans and borrows from the other, as do the masks of Thalia and Melpomene. This is the story of where story begins, and also the story itself.
Welcome to the parlor of the Incandescent Palace. Perhaps we shall glisser through a Grand Ballroom where inspiration springs fictional expression. Or weather permitting, stroll through the courtyard where blooms of daily existence require a pour from the fountain of imagination.
Latest editions include an inspiration story, a related scene, a song of the post, and the edition image. Progressively connected, you are welcome to dive in and splash forward or dip a toe from the first post onward.

The doors to the Incandescence Palace shall open according to lunar and seasonal cycles, with the key currently located in California, USA. (Lunarium is a wonderful specific lunar calendar.)
The best discoveries are reached from the grapevine.

She participated in local performance in New Orleans as a kid and also attended six years of Ballet and Tap, then Jazz dance, with Helena Hosch. Her grandmother, Leoda Martin, taught Juliette storytelling as a child and encouraged her toward acting and the arts.
In her twenties, Juliette moved to New York City to study illustration and painting with School of Visual Arts, and resided primarily in the Gramercy Park neighborhood surrounding the Y2K years. She worked in design, assisted with Guggenheim library, and also as a stylist in the East Village and Midtown. She briefly returned to New Orleans for work with an interior design studio, then relocated to San Francisco, CA in 2005 to continue design for social media.
Juliette entered a two-year acting program managed by Christy English, one of Sanford Meisner's students. She diversified studies with Shelton Studios, for stage, and with the Groundlings hosted by Guy Stevenson for Improv acting and comedy. Juliette received a Taft-Hartley filing after being scouted for a comedy co-star role, her first audition in CA, and is now a current member of SAG-AFTRA.
