Julian Tejera 

Julian Tejera is a contemporary realist from New Jersey who feels there is magic in the small, quiet, everyday moments that we can take for granted. He paints because that is the way he best knows how to honor the life we ​​have been given. Whether he works on Drawing from real life or photographs, her keen eye for design, shape and colour allows her surfaces to become a playground for texture and experimentation. Life informs art and, in a beautiful synchronicity , art informs life. Since 2009, Julian has been inspiring teen and adult students to dig deep and bring out their best possible work as a teacher. He currently continues to work with adults at the Montclair Art Museum and is an adjunct professor for both at both Montclair State University and Caldwell University. He teaches online privately and as a mentor through Mastrius.
