Shnurgle Art is about pursuing a life-sustaining dream.

​

Drawing inspiration from the surrounding nature of the rural midwest, Julia spent her childhood running through grassy fields and gazing up at stars, or deep in the pages of a fantasy fiction novel.

She moved to the East Coast to pursue an Illustration and Fine Arts degree at the Art Institute of Boston and currently resides in the beautiful state of Maine.

​

Her work was featured in "Pop-Ups at the Press" in 2023 hosted by The Press Hotel in Portland. She was also invited as a local artist to take part in the "Flying Colors: Benefit Art Auction" at the Children's Museum and Theatre of Maine in 2024, where her piece "Print of Scarborough Marsh" was successfully auctioned.

​

Julia became a member artist of the Maine Art Collective in May of 2023. She has sold over 50 pieces of art already and is looking forward to another great year in the gallery for 2024!

[ “Shnurgle” : Defined loosely as a light-hearted, slightly goofy, always playful interaction of affection and joy. A word that originated between my sister and I growing up that encapsulates loving and hilarious incidents. ]
