Born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia, Juliana Alonso, likes to say that she is composed of equal parts sentiment, compassion and goofiness.
Influenced by her father’s passion for nurturing her appreciation for her native land and history through travel and improvised bedtime stories, she always found delight in painting.
While art remained at the roots, she studied Industrial Design and worked as a graphic designer until a strong desire to experience life outside the computer came calling a few years after moving to the U.S. This new perspective as an immigrant made her pursuit painting to honor the most meaningful moments of her life, culture, and upbringing.
She now resides in Houston, TX with her husband Shawn and two old gatos, enjoying sunlight and bird songs through her studio windows. Exploring nature and abstraction through whimsical watercolors is how she celebrates life and navigates her healing path after experiencing a neurological event that changed her life forever.
In healing through creativity, Juliana thrives to bring hope and courage to dream and connect with our imagination so we can draw strength and joy through the dark and light seasons of our lives.
