Julie Mauskop on David Zwirner’s Platform

September 11, 2021

Patients coming to the New York Headache Center have enjoyed seeing my daughter Julie’s artwork since she was 11. This was not just a childhood interest – Julie graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in painting. She has continued to work hard as a painter and her perseverance and talent have led to wider recognition.

You can see more of Julie’s work on her Instagram page.
