About

Julea Boswell is a visual artist who divides her time between Ottawa and her home province of Prince Edward Island. Her career achievements include a breadth of both creative and administrative accomplishments, such as her early days as a dance artist and later her award-winning work as a marketing and planning strategist with the City of Ottawa. Julea explains how her journey as an artist has been navigated through different forms of artistic expression, “While working in dance I continued to sketch and paint, designed costumes and also started designing quilts. As other things in life took over I set aside my painting, but always knew I would eventually come back to it.” She adds, "Growing up my involvement in visual art, dance, music and theatre all played a part in setting the stage for the artist in me to flourish. I thank my parents for the rich and varied artistic activities they provided."

Julea's art is in private collections in Canada, Germany, Myanmar and the US and has been exhibited in juried shows. It is for sale at The Dunes Gallery in Prince Edward Island, at Bistro Le Chat Bleu in New Brunswick and online with Herringbone Gallery. She is a Ryerson University Theatre (Dance) graduate, holds an MBA and is currently working part-time towards a BFA in Visual Art.
