Who is Art by Jules?

Hello! I’m Julia Torrey, the artist behind Art by Jules. My path started with my childhood cat, Leo, who became my first muse before I even knew what a muse was. I drew him constantly, and somewhere along the way, drawing the things I love became the start of my life as an artist. A few years and many sketchbooks later, I earned my BFA in Studio Art from Tulane University in New Orleans, the city that never really lets you stop looking. I spent four years surrounded by color, live music, and most importantly, heart and soul, which fueled my fire for art. I eventually traded New Orleans heat for Boston winters and received my MS in Arts Administration from Boston University. These days, I find inspiration by getting out into the world. I love traveling, wandering through museums, and taking long walks outside. I’m also endlessly inspired by animals and the people I love most. Through Art by Jules, I create original work and take on commissions, giving me the chance to turn the things that inspire me into pieces that can become meaningful to you, too!
