I'm thrilled to be the Featured Artist at Louis Shanks Furniture for the entire month of February 2023!!! It truly is such an honor to have a hand-selected collection of my Original Paintings on display in the luxurious interior of this Austin-staple! I am so grateful to have celebrated this with many new and familiar faces at the Gallery Opening Reception on February 9th, 2023! ✨💙🥂
⬆︎ Guests also got a sneak peek of a NEW collection of small resin pieces ✨

I was interviewed by KMFA.895 Radio at the show and I am so grateful to Guillermo for making me feel so at ease!! I have a secret fear and hatred for public speaking, but I felt so comfortable!!
Delicious Hors D'oeuvres provided by 34th Street Cafe & Catering of Austin, tasty refreshments by Tito's Handmade Vodka, Milam * Green Bourbon, and Chawar Agave Spirit as well as a live performance by Justice Phillips from Austin Classical Guitar.
In 1945, Louis Shanks opened his first furniture store in Austin, Texas. Seventy-seven years later and four generations of his family running the stores, they continue to provide Central Texan's with the finest home furnishings and service.
We were so busy mingling, that I only got to snag a few pics during this fab reception! CHECK THEM OUT ⬇︎
Thank you, Louis Shanks Furniture & the Shanks Family for inviting myself and my artwork into your beautiful interior setting. This event was such a joy and I am grateful for our mutual efforts in completing peoples' homes with meaningful pieces!
This event was a celebration of art, design and furniture, and attracted a large crowd of art lovers and design enthusiasts. Highlighting the latest furniture pieces and interior design trends with my modern, abstract paintings. The abstract pieces were hand-selected by the Louis Shanks staff and were on display on the first floor of the store for guests to easily see and enjoy.
One of the guests at the event commented, "I was blown away by Julie Ahmad's art. The pieces are so full of life and energy, and they really make the furniture at Louis Shanks come alive."
The event was a great success, and it provided guests with an opportunity to see some of my latest works in a new and exciting setting. Louis Shanks Furniture in Austin is known for its commitment to quality and design, and the event was a perfect showcase of their philosophy.
