julia armstrong, artist and illustratorbiography & statement

Art has always been a powerful force in my life.

Realism isn't my ultimate goal, I will let the camera take care of that aspect. I want to emphasize the magic, miracles and patterns of life and nature that are right before our eyes, the tiny things we often fail to see or take for granted.

I usually draw inspiration from nature or life's experiences. Other times I paint or sculpt without planning and the artwork flows naturally.

I'm of Celtic and American Indian descent, and a member of a state-recognized tribe.

I fascinated by traditional dance, and have been studying Bharatanatyam for three years.


Here are some of the newspaper articles about my shows throughout the years:
