Julia’s art practice moves between painting and weaving, grounded in an ongoing exploration of color, texture, and form. The work draws from close observation of the natural world, including light, landscape, and the shifting conditions that shape how things are seen and felt.
Her paintings develop through layering, scraping, and reworking, building surfaces that hold time and atmosphere. Her weaving extends this process into form, using hand-spun fibers, upcycled elements, and painted canvas cut into strips. Color and texture are restructured through rhythm and repetition.
Across both practices, the work is tactile and responsive, shaped through attention to process and touch. Each piece unfolds gradually, balancing structure and openness, and allowing complexity to emerge without force.
Julia studied Art History at New York University (BA) and Studio Art and Painting at the University of Illinois at Chicago (BFA). These experiences shaped a lasting understanding of painting as both discipline and inquiry, informed by close mentorship, critical dialogue, and a sustained commitment to process.
