"There are no such things as mistakes, only happy accidents". Julie Wurtele, Artfully You Director
A note from our founder:
"With Artfullyyou we believe we are all born artists, without concerns about our work being perfect. As we become adults we forget our inner child and worry that our work isn't good enough. I want every student whether they are a child or adult to be present and playful in our lessons, to embrace happy accidents and strive to be different".
Since the pandemic we have seen an enormous growth in our business. We now offer five public classes a week to kids and adults in painting and drawing and we are also busy with large and local corporate team building sessions, birthday parties and art therapy programs. Thank you everyone for your support and for bringing so much joy to our work!
Our founder and director: Julie Wurtele studied Fine Art in England, UK and Dundas Valley School of Art, Ontario. She regularly exhibits her work in galleries and shows across Ontario and sells her work in local stores, online, in restaurants and does many commissions. A member of Burlington Fine Arts Association, Art instructor for Oakville Art Society and Grimsby Art Gallery she also teaches online and in private and public schools. Classes include drawing, painting, abstraction, colour theory, collage, wood engraving, clay crafts, card making, jewellery and floral arranging.
She has developed a unique teaching method using shapes and symbols children and adults can relate to, breaking the project down step by step and encouraging the development of individual styles. She believes anyone can learn to be a great artist. She teaches art and crafts from kindergarten to seniors in various locations across the GTA, art parties, paint nights and offers private art therapy.
Her primary medium is acrylic and she is currently producing landscapes from her various travels around the world. Julie has equally enjoyed a fulfilling musical career. Got to the music tab to find out more!
