Julie Vetro is an interdisciplinary artist and educator living in Hamilton, Ontario. She works in a variety of media: photography, film, painting, sculpture and installation. Sound and audio are key components in her artistic practice. Her work explores the impact of musical cognition, perception, and appreciation on neurological function. She is especially intrigued by the complex interrelationship between music and sounds, and their compelling ability to evoke memory and provoke emotions.

Julie received a BA (2007) in Art and Art History from the University of Toronto/Sheridan College and a B.Ed (2009) from Brock University. She also studied film at Ryerson University in Toronto. Julie earned awards for outstanding achievement in studio work and was featured in annual publications by the University of Toronto/Sheridan College.
