About the wandering artist—

My name is Julia Elizabeth Kellogg Henry (JEKH). I’m an artist from the suburbs of Massachusetts and the mountains of Utah. In 2023 I began traveling full-time with my partner and together we have been to over 26 countries. Living on the road has given me constant inspiration for my art and poetry. It is through this lens that I interpret the world and it is in a free, (and often messy) creative state that I feel most alive.

Art has always been a part of my life. Growing up in a family of painters, musicians, photographers, and dancers, it was always certain to me that I would be an artist. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t love to write, draw, paint, photograph and collage my experiences. I have filled over 35 journals and sketchbooks with the overflow that spills out of my mind. In 2021 I published my first collection of poetry called “Tomorrow’s Waves.” I often use poetry to grapple with the challenging truths of life and painting to immortalize the beautiful things I never want to forget. I find most of my inspiration from the natural beauty I encounter on my travels, as well as the people I hold most dear and the many artists I admire.
