Julia Trops is an international multi-disciplinary artist having sold over 1100 artworks worldwide since 2004. Retaining the focus, work ethic and integrity from her 12 year career in the military, this decorated artist maintains a studio in the Rotary Centre for the Arts with three other local artists. Her work is vibrant, dramatic and expressive, and focuses on the feminine figure. While other writers have selected her artwork numerous times for publishing, Julia is close to completing her fourth book. Julia is one of the original organizers of the Okanagan Erotic Art Show and has carried on the event on her own since 2009. Livessence Society for Figurative Artists and Models was born from Julia's life drawing sessions started in 2003 and won the 2010 Central Okanagan Community Group Arts Award. Julia is represented in the Okanagan by Gallery Odin at Silver Star Ski Resort, at Creatio Ex Nihilo, and in the Rotary Centre for the Arts.
