Julia was born in South Korea and graduated with a fine arts education degree. Afterward, she was an art teacher in middle school. Korean middle school’s art curriculums are heavily focused on theory and European art history. Due to that, she was more exposed to European art styles and techniques when teaching her students to paint.
In early 2000, her life completely changed. She got married and had three beautiful children. With young children and responsibilities, her career had to go on pause. Also, she made up her mind to move to Canada for her children’s education and to become a full-time mother to support them. While she was supporting her kids, she had opportunities in Vancouver to see Aboriginal, Chinese, Japanese, and Canadian art, which helped widen her perspective on fine art.
n 2019, she was able to resume her career with her family’s support. The support meant so much to her and she wanted to express her passion and roots through one of Korea’s art styles called Minhwa. She mainly focuses on painting flowers, birds, and butterflies to wish health, peace, stability, and happiness.
