Julianna is an abstract artist working in acrylics and mixed media, creating textured works that reflect emotion, personal experience, and the natural world. Based in Washington, DC, she approaches the canvas as a playground—beginning with spontaneous mark-making in ink or charcoal, layering collage papers and gesso, then building depth through acrylic paint, ink, glass paint, and oil pastels.

Her process combines broad strokes with a careful interplay of matte and translucent layers, producing compositions that are as much about mood as they are about form. Neutral tones and natural textures dominate her calmer works, while bursts of pinks, yellows, and oranges surface as counterpoints to more turbulent emotions—sometimes even as protest against difficult times.

Julianna’s goal is to create atmosphere. Each piece is designed to shape the energy of a space; soothing, grounding, or sparking a quiet vibrancy. Her paintings are meant to be lived with: timeless works that continue to catch the eye, set a tone, and create an environment for reflection.
