About

Welcome to my new art blog (I had an old one called Insert Clever Art Blog Name Here). I am not sure exactly what will be going on here, but I hope to use this space to discuss the creative process, my new work, and other art-related stuff. Your comments and feedback are welcome.

My name is Julie Galante and I am an American artist currently living and working in Munich, Germany. I have lived all over the place and I love to travel. I collect a lot of visual inspiration wherever I go. I am primarily a painter, and my first love is portraiture. I also paint a lot of cityscapes and the occasional still life. I recently took up the practice of daily painting (if you like what you see, you can purchase my original daily paintings online here.)

I have another blog, This International Life, where I write about life as an expat in Germany and my travels around Europe. Oh yeah, and I have a more formal artist’s website, where you can see my larger works.

If you’d like to contact me directly, you can email me.

I am @julie_galante (arty stuff) and @zurika (general stuff) on Twitter.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
