"During the mid-90's, Julianne and I were studying with the same teacher--Madeleine Stanley-Jossem--at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work back then was always colorful and beautifully rendered. Over the years, Julianne's painting techniques and subjects have evolved into some of the most original and finely executed work in Chicago. Her success has been an inspiration to me."  - Suzie Isaacs, artist
