In this episode of unchARTeDayton, we are thrilled to welcome painter and community builder Julie Riley. Julie shares her journey of transitioning her artwork to address social issues, such as mental illness, drawing inspiration from her own life experiences.
After a 30-year hiatus working in graphic design and caring for her aging parents, Julie made a remarkable return to the arts. She discusses how she incorporates her business acumen into her thriving art career, even as an introvert.
Recently elected President of the Dayton Society of Artists, Julie delves into her efforts to support and grow the art community in and around Dayton.
Throughout our conversation, we uncover fascinating aspects of Julie's life, including her stint in the Beanie Baby resale market, her love for horror movies and roller coasters, and her teenage adventures, including months spent living in the Grand Canyon.
Join us for this unchARTed discussion with Dayton artist and community builder, Julie Riley.
