LA Based Brazilian Artist- Painter, Pigment, & Paint Maker I am Júlia, I received my formal training from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, PA. I work with handmade paint and pigment made from natural materials collected during my travels. Inspired by the plight of the traditional painting apprentice, I crave to know the origin of the materials I work with. I have become fascinated with working from foraged pigments and look forward to sharing this excitement with you!
