ABOUT THE ARTIST

Julie is a mixed media painter from Philadelphia, PA. In 2011, while attending a drawing class at the University of The Arts, her drawing professor described her work as “painterly”, and advised her to take a painting class. Julie took her advice, and has been painting ever since.

Julie’s work is concerned with psychological manifestations - focusing largely on how the health of the mind affects one’s perception of the world around them and their quality of life. More specifically, her primary focus is on the struggles of the unbound mind, mental illness, loneliness, grief, and identity.

She is currently working on multiple projects simultaneously including an on-going series entitled Asleep In The Deep, which in simplest terms, explores mental illness as life at the bottom of the sea.
