Julie’s positive, sparkly disposition was a natural fit for teaching art lessons to children and adults across Canada and beautiful Italy. In 2002, Julie started SassyTuna Studio.
Understanding the need for quality, having studied at top art colleges such as Grenfell, Sheridan, and Algonquin, as well as Dalhousie University courses and tech incubator, Julie invests a variety of art techniques to create a well-rounded creative experience.
She completes thousands of art pieces every year, from digital art to murals to portraiture, in graphite, pastel, watercolour and acrylic paint. She has created indoor and outdoor murals, acrylic and digital, ranging from 10 sq feet to 2400 sq feet.
Ms. Lewis completed a Diploma from Algonquin College in Ottawa (Animation) in 2002 (then went on to teach anatomy, alma mater) completed Art Studies at Sheridan College (2000), and studied Fine Arts at Grenfell College (1999).
She worked in software development for 10 years, in television studios Spumco, Amberwood and Boomstone (for The Family Channel), and in computer game design with Dalhousie University and Centre for Arts and Technology.
