Julie Heffernan

Julie Heffernan (born 1956 in Peoria, Illinois) is an American painter. David Cohen, art critic of "The New York Sun", aptly describes Heffernan's art: "These paintings are a hybrid of genres and styles, mixing allegory, portraiture, history painting, and still life, while in title they are all presented as self portraits."
