After graduation, she went to New York to study acting at the Lee Strasberg Institute and The Neighborhood Playhouse Theater School.

She completed them in 2017 with the title of Fine Arts. She was the Elizabeth Greenshields three -day scholarshipist.

Painting is a kind of performance for her. The experience gained in the acting work, the theater and on the screen transmits to the screen. He builds the mood of the scenes using a dramatic gesture, light and color. He mixes with black humor, beauty and darkness connects into one. Its compositions are taken out of Baroque altar attachments; The lush still life, strange objects like the Curiosus cabinet… shows clear inspiration from the art of the old masters: Caravaggia, Rubens, Rembrandt, Artemischi Artemischi, but Julie's images retain individual and contemporary character.
