  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.
  • The Impressionists

Featured Artist Friday: Gail Julien

Gail Julien"I attended Coronet of California Modeling School.  Upon graduation, I went on to study at American Beauty Finishing School in Detroit, MI.

"I have been involved in fashion and creative pursuits from an early age, including modeling and acting. I have performed on the stage, in movies and on television.  More hands on to the creative process I built sets, directed plays and became a makeup artist. I even opened my own modeling school, talent agency and production service and became a published author.

"I currently appear in: Who’s Who in the World, Who’s Who of American Women and The World’s Who’s Who of Women.

"Every medium is an adventure and I combine drawing, painting, and other mediums. Much of the work I am currently doing is creating something that will leap off the canvas and show the viewer something unexpected."
