ARTIST BIO: Julie (Grovhoug) Coyle is a lifelong artist and someone dedicated to creativity in all its forms. After graduating from Rio Americano High School in Sacramento, where she received the Outstanding Art Student award, Julie was offered a scholarship to the San Francisco Art Institute. Although her parents prevented her from using that scholarship, Julie studied art at Chico State, focusing on figurative work and a variety of studio practices. Julie’s first commercial art job was as store artist for one of the original Tower Records stores in Sacramento. Through studying calligraphy, Julie went on to design menus, concert posters and flyers in college. Every job thereafter had a creative element to it, whether it was running the advertising for a fashion company, managing the art department of a greeting card business or working as an art publisher. The consistent aspect of all Julie’s jobs has been one of creativity and challenge. All of art is a risk and Julie undertakes each new project with enthusiasm and original thinking. The culmination of Julie’s artistic career thus far has been JCAA – a vibrant commercial art studio in Sausalito, CA, where she currently heads a team of 7 artists to create site specific artwork in the hospitality, healthcare and senior living industries.
