Reverie by Charity Jules

Charity Jules is an artist, educator, and innovative arts administrator based in Eastern North Carolina. She serves as the Chair of the Fine Art and Music Departments at Pitt Community College, where she has helped grow the Associate in Fine Arts program into a strong university transfer pathway for emerging artists. With an MFA in Photography from East Carolina University and a background in both analog and digital photographic processes, her studio practice has expanded to include mixed media, metals, glass, and wood.

“Reverie is a body of work born from a season of deep renewal. Composed of photographs and found-object sculptures – seashells, whale bones, and other treasures gathered through years of beachcombing, the series is a meditation on love, memory, and the quiet power of place.

“Reverie is not only a reflection on a place, but a practice of presence. It is an attempt to hold onto the ephemeral, to gather beauty, and offer it back.”
