About Julie
Julie Pelaez combines her conceptual Advertising background with a variety of mixed media to create thought-provoking abstract artworks centered on themes of human connection and empowerment. Her practice includes exhibitions, commissions, a growing line of wallpaper designs, corporate installations with Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, United Heritage Credit Union, ERS of Austin, and Kendra Scott, as well as print collaborations with national retailers such as Wexel Art, Four Hands Art Studio, and Perigold. She has participated in dozens of exhibitions nation-wide, and in 2023 opened a dedicated gallery showroom in Canopy, an arts hub in Austin, where she hosts open studio hours the 1st Saturday of every month. She received her BFA from The University of Delaware in 2000 and spent a decade as an Advertising Art Director, followed by a break for motherhood before becoming a full-time artist in 2017. Julie passionately soaks up life and squeezes out color from her home studio in Austin where she lives with her husband and 2 sons.
