Julieta Garcia Chacón

Artist, Physician, Storyteller.

Julieta is part painter, part storyteller and views the world through a scientific and colorful lens. Her education began as a medical doctor in Mexico, surrounded by mostly desert landscapes and already changing climate patterns affecting the world.

Growing up on the U.S. / Mexico border with largely marginalized communities and where women had to fight for equality, she learned to express herself and seek freedom through art, color, and vivid expressions. While observing social norms changing over the past decade, she also experienced the impact that climate change was having on already underrepresented communities.

Through her art, Julieta expresses and advocates for a sense of increased responsibility to protect our mother earth, elevating freedoms for women, and honoring animals and nature.

Unique to Julieta, she utilizes highly colorful kaleidoscope-like backgrounds to brighten up and accentuate our surroundings, as a tool to bring hope to the world.

Julieta has studied art at the Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, as well as under the direction of the renowned artist Manuel Piña in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico.  She has attended a series of seminars with the Association of Portrait Artists in the U.S.

Born and raised along the border in El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, she now resides in Austin, Texas. She is married to a physician and has two daughters, a son and four grandchildren
