About Julia Wheatley

My art process begins by playing with paper. I craft collages (usually in my notebook) with mixed media to create compositional studies for my paintings. By embracing the idea of life as a collage, I hope to illustrate the unique life story of each human while emphasizing the importance of shared narratives and the richness that community brings to the human experience.

With a background in Industrial Design and over a decade working as a professional model I draw inspiration from my own unusual path, where unexpected elements blend like a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes ultimately weaving into a very curious life story.

Born in the United States and currently based on the East Coast, I earned my BFA Summa Cum Laude from the Savannah College of Art and Design. My works have been exhibited in galleries worldwide, both digitally and physically.
