Julia Martin, artist and gallery owner/operator

Tucked away on a side-street in the rapidly-changing Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood sits the gallery space that artist Julia Martin has called home for more than a decade.

As an artist, Julia loves faces, the human figure, waxed pastels and oil paint. As the owner and operator of the Julia Martin Gallery, she relishes the close-knit arts community she’s helped build. In this episode we hear from Julia about her art, the life-changing exhibitions she’s curated, and why she thinks it’s important to give up-and-coming artists their first gallery experience.

This episode was produced by Mary Mancini.
