 Julie’s love for art began in her early childhood, inspired by watching her father, a barber, use hair as his canvas. This unique blend of artistry sparked her passion for creativity, which led her to pursue a career in the beauty industry, where she brings her artistic visions to life on clients. Over the years, Julie has had the opportunity to teach painting classes for her peers and youth parties. Today, she’s excited to share her love for art and teach at the All Children’s Art Center, inspiring young artists to discover their own creative potential.
