Julia Pine, Ph.D. is an independent scholar, and vintage business owner living outside of Ottawa, Canada. She has written extensively on Dalí’s so-called American Period, including scholarly articles in Invisible Culture, English Studies in Canada, The Journal of Surrealism and the Americas, and Papers of Surrealism, among others.

Her doctoral thesis at Canada's Carleton University was a literary analysis of the artist’s 1942 autobiography, The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí. This was followed by post-doctoral research at the University of Essex under the direction of Dalí scholar Dawn Ades, on the subject of Dalí’s war-era paintings.
