Julia Lundman is both a traditional fine artist and seasoned commercial artist in San Francisco, creating narrative worlds with her paintings. “My work is an exploration of all of the mysterious fantasies I read about and drew as a child, fairies, myth, creatures, animals. I am interested in revisiting these inspirations with the depth of experience as an adult, thinking about how I can remake beloved subjects with my personal nuance.

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 graduated from the American Academy of Art in downtown Chicago in 1993. She began her professional career as a background painter at Calabash Animation, a traditional animation studio. There she designed on two independent short films, "Heads Will Roll" (Dir. Wayne Brejcha) and visual art direction on "Stubble Trubble" (Dir. Joe Merideth), nominated for an Academy Award in 2000 in the Animated Shorts category.

Her experience brought her to San Francisco to Art Direct at Electronic Arts, Zynga, and Disney Interactive. She also Art Directed an animated tv series for Disney Junior and illustrated for Little Golden Books.

Her fine art work has been published in Infected by Art, volumes 8, 9 and 10, and Imagine FX magazine.
