About Me

Black and white photo of a woman with glasses, resting her chin on her hand, wearing a bracelet and a necklace.

My name is Juliette Ricci Lagman. I am an artist, writer and podcast host. I have always had a passion for photography, and in college I fell in love with painting and writing as well. I learned to combine these mediums in a unique style of mixed media painting that I’ve been working in for over 20 years.

My first book of prose and artwork The Juliette Letters, Confessions of an Artistic Mind was published in 2019.  The updated version is available now.  My second book, Be Like Water - A Visual Memoir, was published in September 2024.
