Julia Lundman
Julia Lundman is both a traditional artist and seasoned commercial artist in San Francisco, creating paintings and drawings inspired by myth, folklore and fantasy.
“My work is an exploration of all of the mysterious fantasy worlds I read about and drew as a child, fairies, myth, legends, animals - all of the fascinating creatures I was introduced to in Narnia and Greek Myth. I am interested in revisiting these inspirations with the depth of experience as an adult, thinking about how I can retell beloved subjects with nuance and personal meaning.
I work in my studio daily using traditional methods I’ve learned from years of study. I am currently working in mixed media using water based, non toxic materials on paper mounted on hardboard, sometimes utilizing gilded metal accents.”
Julia Lundman studied art history and fine art at Elmhurst University in Elmhurst, Illinois and later graduated from the American Academy of Art in downtown Chicago.
