Monday Morning eye candy – Julia Galloway

I’m not going to lie. I have been basically stalking Julia Galloway‘s work online for years. It’s exquisite, it is beautiful to behold, it is layered and conceptually intriguing. So when i heard she was going to be presenting at this years 1000 Miles Apart student conference in Red Deer, there was no holding me back from finally seeing her work in person. I was not dissapointed in the slightest. The work is even more incredible than the images allow you to ascertain. And to top it off, Julia in person is so lovely, generous, honest, humorous and thought provoking. I only wish i could have seen more of her demos and heard her speak for more than just a morning. I have returned home inspired.
