     Hello! I’m Julia, from Commack, NY and I’ve been an artist for as long as I can remember! As a kid, I immersed myself in every creative outlet I could find—from creating elaborate sidewalk murals to constructing fantastic costumes and everything in between. If it allowed me to be expressive and imaginative, I was there!

     In high school, I dove head first into the art world, not just through classes, but also by leading art-based extracurriculars to keep the creativity flowing. In 2018, I took the leap to New York City—the epicenter of art and culture—to study Production Design at Pace University. While in college and beyond, I worked in the art departments of film and television productions, collaborated on theatrical scenic designs, and helped bring immersive installation art to restaurants and shops across the city.

     While I loved working in these creative industries, I realized something was missing: a true sense of support and encouragement for artists. That realization inspired me to shift paths and step into education. I wanted to create the kind of environment I once wished for. One that uplifts young artists, nurtures creativity, and validates everyone's unique artistic voice.

     Now, I am proud to be a part of the world of visual art education. I’ve had the joy of learning from and collaborating with incredible art teachers across Long Island. I’m ready and excited to lead a classroom of my own—where creativity is celebrated, curiosity is encouraged, and every student feels empowered to explore and express themselves through art.
