Jeremy K. Bullis was born in Alliance, Ohio in 1972 and is a sculptor and world builder who uses wood, paper, wire, drawings, photos and writing to explore a number of ideas. He was born in rural, northeast Ohio to his father, artist David L. Bullis, and mother, educator Vera Davis (now Brunie.) From an early age Jeremy knew two things: that he wanted to live in NYC and that he wanted to create. Creating came easily. Both of his parents were highly talented painters and sculptors who encouraged having fun and making puppets, models, clothing, drawings, and anything else “artistic” that came to mind. Moving to New York took a little more effort but by age 21 Jeremy had packed up his things and moved to Washington Heights. He spent 25 years in NYC working at a broadway costume shop, an international record label, two luxury fashion brands, waiting tables, and managing several highly popular restaurants… while maintaining a rich studio practice as much as possible.
Jeremy was slowly phasing out of restaurant work and hoping to focus on his art full time when the pandemic hit and pushed that plan forward a couple of years. Relocating to Hudson in May of 2020, Jeremy rented a long empty corner store which sits at the mouth of town and launched intertwined dream projects. The majority of this space is his studio (6 times larger than any space he had had in New York City) while in the large, storefront windows he established Window on Hudson.
Window On Hudson offers storefront window exhibition space for artists of Hudson and the Hudson Valley. WOH is committed to providing a platform for established and developing artists to display their work, of all mediums, while also offering professional development opportunities for emerging artists.
Window On Hudson is two large storefront windows located at 43 South Third Street in Hudson. The windows are prominently visible 24/7 to all citizens.
In the studio Jeremy is currently focused on three distinct bodies of work. Foremost are Towers, which allows Bullis to question and examine the concepts of Fact, Faith, and Community. Secondly, he collaborates with his father, David L. Bullis (1942-2011), creating mobiles that equally present lines and negative space in motion. Finally, his ongoing project, the character based sculptures known as The Peepkins, has been produced by QCode Media as a scripted children’s podcast and is available everywhere.
