Art is a gift to humanity. It is the representation of what we long for and it helps us understand the world better. Art allows us to explore new ideas and experiences and what could be possible.
For Jules Mercanti, art has allowed her to express herself vibrantly, as seen in her recent paintings. She is a fast-rising artist described as “a cheeky illustrator and painter whose work is a fever-dream afterparty for reality.” Her solo show at the Cry Baby Gallery in Toronto showcased her unconventional style.
Join us as we chat with Jules about art, life, and anything under the sun. I promise you will enjoy listening to this episode!
“I’m trying to embrace change as much as I can, and I know it’s super scary, but I’m trying to grow.”
