Julia's work is mainly inspired by the flair of retro children's books. Yet she translates these paper-cut shapes and bold colours into a gr...aphic, concise style to create artwork in a modern way. Her background as a long-time graphic designer in advertising, children's products and food brings her skills in page and package design, as well as a specialisation in hand lettering. Her interest in the essence and life stories of people makes her passionate about portraits and caricatures. She is a music enthusiast and deals a lot with ecological, social and political issues, which is also reflected in her art.

Julia is a proud mum of two kids, two cats and a horse. Together with her husband she manages business and family life in the lovely suburbs of Vienna, Austria. Her work has been recognized by Communication Arts, American Illustration, 3x3 Magazine, Lürzers Archive and Creative Quarterly. Show more
