Based in Porto, Portugal, Julia is a self-taught painter and poet from the mountains of the United States. She creates colorful nature scenes primarily with acrylic paint, occasionally incorporating oil pastels and watercolor. Her paintings are inspired by years of travel and her whimsical view of the world. Julia enjoys blending elements of realism with touches of magic, often combining art and poetry to express emotions that cannot be conveyed through a single medium. Symbolism plays an important role in her work, allowing her to tell stories and process personal experiences through imagery.
