Today I’m sharing Protection of Peace — a large owl commission.

Over the years, many of you have reached out about original paintings, commissions, and upcoming shows. To make it easier to share that side of my work more intentionally, I’ve created a Collector’s List for those who want to stay connected to what I’m painting now and what’s coming next.

If you’re interested in original work, commissions, or upcoming shows, please be sure to join the Collector’s list.

If you’ve been drreaming of a custom piece inspired by my work, I’d love to talk about a collaboration. A commission is a one-of-a-kind painting created together — often beginning with just three words. These might include a color scheme, interior design swatches, or other sources of inspiration.

For Protection of Peace (36 × 36” on canvas), this collector shared three words: blue, owl, snowy — and this is what emerged.

If this resonates, you can check out my commissions page or email me to talk about your special project.

And if you’d like to stay updated about originals, commissions, and upcoming shows, the Collectors List is the best place to do that.

Thank you, as always, for being here and for supporting this work. I’m grateful to continue creating — and sharing — what’s unfolding next.

With gratitude,

xo Juliette

P.S. In case you missed it, I’m keeping registration open with 50% off my lifetime-access courses. Since 2011, I’ve guided tens of thousands of students through my classes, and I hope they continue to bring you joy, connection, and comfort.
