Jullie Miller Torres -- "Follow Your Love" - Lawyer turned artist exhibits at The MET

Artist, Julie Miller Torres, specializes in printmaking. Trained
as a lawyer, from a family of lawyers, Torres practiced law for
seven years. She was good at her job and enjoyed her clients. But
something was missing. At 34, she left her law career to start
over in fine art at the prestigious, Savannah College of Art and
Design ("SCAD"), where she earned a BFA in Printmaking. A few
years out of art school, her career was beginning to get
traction, when Covid hit. Undaunted, she turned to social media
to promote her work. Five years after leaving art school, Torres
created a series of screen prints of Supreme Court Justice, Ruth
Bader Ginsburg. A New York collector saw one of these works on
Instagram and purchased it. This collector had connections to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art who then reached out to Torres and
purchased another of the RBG pieces for its permanent collection.
That piece, titled "Superdiva" is currently on exhibition at The
Met thru next year in an exhibit called “Revolution, Resistance
and Activism.”
