This week Erik and Mike interview artist Julie Strasheim. With an impressive education and resume of artists’ residencies, Julie has lived and studied painting all over the United States, Italy, France, Spain, Estonia, Costa Rica, Finland, and Georgia. Julie is a two-time winner of The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant, has her portraits in several private collections and has exhibited in various group shows. Julie currently shows at Gallery Cuvée. Julie is presently working on Project Merasi which involves painting portraits of musicians from Rajasthan, India. The objective of these works is to honor both the musicians, who are denied basic human dignity as Untouchables in the caste system of India, as well as their musical legacy of 37 generations. The paintings are being donated to raise funds to assist the Merasi in building schools in Rajasthan.
