Hi Everyone,

You need to take a look at a monumental effort of an emerging artist, Galina Marcus, who is taking on a fresh approach at supporting. the arts in communities. "In The Art Scene " is new! Such drive and passion, and a must-read in support of artists and non-profits that provide outreach in the communities all around the U.S.

Something as driven as this certainly deserves a review. Perhaps you might have something to share with other artists, like an experience that can enlighten others, or an outreach program you might like a little push within the community.

Take a minute and review, "In the Art Scene" and signup for the newsletter. Keep the information flowing in the creative vein we all live in. Visit https://intheartscene.com/Hello

Bravo.... Galina, keep it going.  You have my support, Cheryl Ehlers.

About Our Judge: Julie Wearverling

"My work examines layers, transparent and opaque as a metaphor for what is the human condition. What is hidden is sometimes more revealing than what is seen. It is this paradox that interests me, the interplay of where we have come from, and where we can be found now".

A recurring theme is the idea of compartments and compartmentalizing our lives, literally and figuratively. My work is informed by society’s teachings, how to separate ourselves, from our work, our heritage, our family, each other. We compartmentalize in the face of trauma in order to cope, and in the face of joy to celebrate and hold on to that positive space. We deal with compartments as we deal with labels, as a way to view this contemporary life.

Art and music have always been an important part of her life. After studying business in college, it was a trip to Florence, Italy that impacted Julie’s life. So inspired by the art there, she determined to change her life, take her art to the next level, and to earn her living through art. Julie serves as Director of, a nonprofit gallery in Carlsbad, CA where she has worked since January 2006. There she curates exhibits, works with region-based artists, oversees operations including developing programs for residents of Front Porch Communities and juries exhibitions both for the gallery and outside organizations.

With a unique artistic voice and evocative exploration of our shared human workings, Julie strives to uplift by creating artworks with an aim to elicit feelings as well as thoughts. Her desire is to create beauty in her work without it having to be pretty.

Julie is represented by UGallery.com where she is a Top Artist. Her work is also sold nationally through the exclusive Crate and Barrel and UGallery.com partnership where she continues to be a top seller. Additionally, Julie is represented world-wide with fine art publisher ImageConscious. Julie’s work has been exhibited internationally and featured in the books A Walk into Abstracts 2 and Joomchi and Beyond. She is most influenced most by artists with a brave heart.
