Julien Havard is the Hyannis Harbor Arts Center’s Artist-In-Residence for the Summer of 2011.   Julien was born in Canada in 1969 and his family moved to the United States when he was eight years old.  They moved around the country frequently so he was exposed to a wide variety of living environments including Atlanta, GA, Burbank, CA, Philadelphia, PA and finally New York City.  Julien studied Fashion Illustration at the prestigious Central Saint Martin’s School for Art & Design in London. 

Coming from a family that has always been involved with the theatre, Julien found his way to Broadway upon returning to New York.  He has spent the last 20 years dressing some of biggest names in the business, including Tony Award-Winning Actress, Sutton Foster with whom he worked for nine years. 

In addition to his career on Broadway, Julien never stopped creating a variety of artwork including paintings, 3-dimensional works on paper, hand-painted furniture, jewelry and other wearable art.  He also created many ink drawings and murals depicting characters from the musicals that he was working on.  He eventually opened a gallery, LOVE JULIEN STUDIOS, in the heart of the East Village. 

Julien completed commissions for Dreamworks Animation, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids, and a long list of well-known actors including Megan Mullaly, Delta Burke and Toni Collette. His murals have been featured in productions by the Merce Cunningham Dance Company and the METRO PCS Summer Concert Series.

Julien’s work is created with a big heart, a wild sense of humor and reflects his own unique view on life. His style is unique and unmistakable but above all, his art is created to be accessible to all.
