Artnet Interview

The American-born, London-based artist Julie Umerle is a contemporary abstract painter whose work has been exhibited widely both in the United Kingdom and abroad. She has been the artist-in-residence at the Marriott Hotel in Canary Wharf, London, since 2017, and in 2019 was named one of Aesthetica Magazine’s “100 Contemporary Artists”—the same year her memoir, Art, Life, and Everything, was published.
