Julie Franchetti, Artist and Tourism Innovation Manager
"I have travelled and worked in the US many times and love the vibrancy of New York in particular. American clients for my art seem to love the links to Scotland and the colour and energy of my work. I'm working on an exciting commission for a range of abstract paintings for a new office in New York at the moment. I also work in Tourism in Scotland looking at innovation and feel that there are a lot of opportunities to learn from and share experiences across the Atlantic."
