Juli Teasley, a biracial, queer artist, uses photography and mixed media to explore storytelling, memory, and identity. Her art combines vibrant visuals with deep emotion, using color, space, and symbolism to connect with viewers. Juli’s work has earned multiple awards and recognition, including multiple Gold and Silver ADDY Awards, first place in the Ruddell Gallery Student Juried Exhibition at Black Hills State University, and features in Three Peaks Literary Magazine. About her work, Juli says, “This series is a symbolic visualization shown through the eyes of myself as a child, my desire to Choose The Right, and my hindsight as an adult. It portrays the existential confusion I grew up with, both toward my own identity as well as my family’s, in accordance with the practices and inner workings of the church.” About the Emerging Visual Artist (EVA) Program: The EVA program supports artists who are exhibiting their work for the first time, offering guidance throughout the process. RCAC’s curatorial team assists with selecting works, providing critiques, pricing, writing statements, and promoting the exhibition. This program is currently taking submissions!
