Born and raised in Brampton and then Orangeville, Ontario, Julia was always inspired by the beauty of Nature, from the lush woodlands and untouched lakes near her family’s home to the vast expanse of the Great Lakes and “Cottage Country” near Parry Sound, where she and her family spent a lot of time outdoors throughout her childhood.
From a very young age, Julia turned to art as her favourite natural expression and outlet, drawing, painting and sculpting on a regular basis. She attended an intensive fine arts high school, and has travelled the world, living in numerous places, from New Brunswick to Japan, learning new techniques throughout her travels.
Now based in BC, Julia finds endless inspiration from the age-old forests, the mountains, and the rolling waves of the ocean; and her aim is to interpret and capture that beauty on paper and canvas through varied paint and textural mediums.
