About the Artist

When I am painting time disappears. I focus on the major shapes and blocks of color when I begin. I try not to be afraid of making mistakes. I am using vibrant colors and it makes me happy.

Julia Mendershausen Chiaro is currently living and painting in Madrid. She has an academic background in ceramic sculpture and costume design and her professional career was with Walt Disney.

My Artistic Journey

I was fortunate because I was taught that art is important. I had my parents permission to be an artist even if it wasn’t ‘practical’. Earning a BA in Fine Art and an MFA in Costume Design led me to a lengthy career as an artist and designer with Walt Disney beginning in 1996. I have along the way exhibited and sold my own work. My current paintings are inspired by the vibrant city of Madrid, my family, our travels and the everyday life around us.
