Julia Berkely
Julia Berkeley is a painter based in Ridgefield, CT. After earning her BA in Studio Art at Loyola University of Maryland, she began working in fashion designing women’s prints and textiles at Ralph Lauren. This environment was enriching and thrilling watching her work come to fruition. What she loved most was working alongside creatives, immersed in a visual world of storytelling. Julia now paints full time exhibiting in various group and solo shows in galleries, art centers and storefronts. Her practice and application of art making have evolved over the years as she strives to create with purpose. Each environment, experience, relationship, or encounter has a role in shifting Julia’s attention.
Giselle Landers
In colorful, expressive paintings of intertwining marks and shapes, Giselle Landers explores applying structure to irregular forms. Giselle’s experience as a graphic designer deeply informs her practice. Embracing organic and figurative references, Giselle’s art engages with action painting, color field painting, and graffiti without adhering to any singular artistic movement. Inspiration comes from a broad range of subjects: modernism, hieroglyphics, typography, and ancient art; ultimately reflecting her own vocabulary of visual language. Giselle earned a BFA from Syracuse University and worked as a graphic designer in New York City for many years. In 2007 she moved to London with her husband and three young boys. While in London, Giselle studied drawing and printmaking at The Royal Drawing School and earned a Graduate Diploma in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art. Giselle’s work has been exhibited in group shows in London, New York and Connecticut. Recently, Giselle completed a residency at Yellow Studio in Cross River, NY where she focused on her love of palm trees and tropical flora. She is currently a board member of the Katonah Museum Artists’ Association. Giselle lives and works in Greenwich, CT.
Jamie Cook Simon
Jamie Cook Simon (born 1976 in Washington D.C.) is a figurative and landscape painter working in oil, acrylic, ink and charcoal. With a love of color, Jamie works to reflect her own experiences as an artist and mother and the deep emotions of the growth of these two identities. Jamie studied at Parsons School of Design, the National Academy of Design in New York City from 2000-2004, and UCLA from 2005-2009. After mentoring with the artist Joe Blaustein in Los Angeles, Jamie continued to make her work while raising her four children. She happily moved back to the east coast in 2023.
