About Juliette

​
Juliette is a profoundly gifted[1] 7-years-old Davidson Young Scholar who is enrolled in 6th and 7th grade classes and paints[2] from her observation and imagination. Juliette started with abstract painting when she was eight months old. By the time Juliette was 3 years old, people approached her parents to buy her paintings. She started to paint landscapes and narrative art at the age of four, without any targeted instruction and with an intuitive ease that is notable. With the proceeds from the sales of her paintings, Juliette has raised tens of thousands of dollars for Asian American Donor Program to help blood cancer patients find a match. This child philanthropist has also contributed to Race to Erase MS, Ladies Who Rock 4 A Cause, Oakland Public Education Fund, Art in Action, Mensa Foundation, APA Heritage Foundation, and Asian Inc.

Juliette teaches painting classes to children and adults, including at Reno’s Farmer’s Market and to William Land Elementary teachers. Her art has been exhibited at the Reno Tahoe International Art Show, Discovery Museum San Jose, The Reno Generator.
