The Artist





Julie Valentine
Artist, Designer and Writer

I began my professional art career in 2001, developing illustrations for art, fashion and yoga boutiques in Northern California.  Since then, I've had the pleasure of exhibiting my work at galleries in California, Amsterdam and New York.  I've enjoyed sharing my creative process with the creative community through workshops and  Magazines (Somerset Studios, Cloth Paper Scissors and Diablo Magazines) 

Art and creativity has been a passion of mine for years. My dad was one of the first black fine art photographers at the (TorpedoFactory) in Alexandria, Virginia.  He was the catalyst for my love of art and music.  My first set of art supplies was a huge pad of newsprint paper and several charcoal pencils he gave me.   I've never stopped creating  My creative journey has given me a passion for 
demystifying the art journaling process for myself and others through workshops like “Juicy Soul Retreat” and "Vision Boards" at A Work of Heart Studio
