Juli Teasley is a biracial, queer, photographer and visual artist residing in the Black Hills, and graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts - Photography. She has always been interested in storytelling, memory and identity. Her background in life has given her the inspiration and intrigue to create art around these themes. Themes that not only resonate with her emotionally, but with those in search of a deeper connection to the world around them. Though her art is often bright, it is designed to evoke emotion. Juli has learned that her narratives can be illustrated not only through words but with color choices, space, abstract elements, symbolism, the combination of mediums, and other endless possibilities.

Juli strives to create art with meaning and intention and finds that art that seems so personal to one can actually resonate with many, and be interpreted universally.
