Known by "Julz" signature on my work.  This is my portfolio of Art, Photography and Interiors.

I have had an artistic talent since a very young age. I can freehand images I see or imagine them with ease.  I have perfected my skills since;

• I was rewarded a 4 year Rotary scholar for my talent in art and public speaking.
• I attended NYSSSA (New York Summer School for the Arts), and had a  piece of artwork selected to be in a permanent collection in the Albright-Knox Museum in Buffalo.
• In 1996 I earned an A.A.S Degree in Photography at Genesee Community College.
• In 1998 a B.S. degree in Art Education and in 2003 a Masters degree in Education from Nazareth College of Rochester.  I concentrated in Pre-k through 12th grade Art, focusing on a variety of mediums including Photography, Graphics, Printmaking, Ceramics, Fibers, Sculpture and Acrylic Painting.  
• I taught art in diverse settings; urban, rural, suburban, private and public schools for 20 years.
• I also worked in a hardware store, where I picked up 4 years of interior design, home décor, staging, faux finishing, wallpapering, and home & office organizing experience. I then began faux finishing and painting in customers’ homes on my free time.  I created original pieces of art to sell starting in 1997. 

In  2008 I launched, "If These Walls Could Talk".  This is my Portfolio of 30 years of Art Work.   I also create custom works of art that are driven by you and your ideas. I am a Photographer as well and specialize in Portraits, Senior pictures family, sports, proms, events and nature photography.
