About julie
 

Julie is a graduate of the Academy of Art University residing in San Francisco, California. Since January 2001, she has been a concept artist for Nickelodeon pilots, game cinematics, and independent films. She has been a freelance artist for over a decade, doing projects such as portraits, caricatures, logos, and flyers. Her favorite freelance projects are dog portraits. In 2003, she began teaching animation to middle school students with a company called AnimAction Inc. Now she is an instructor at SAE Expression College where she teaches drawing, painting, sculpting, concept art, storyboarding, and animation.

Julie’s illustration is vibrant, energetic, and playful. She likes to focus on character, symbolism, composition, and storytelling. She is currently developing a short film called “Fool” which is a parody of Shakespeare’s “King Lear.”

When she is not creating art, you may find her singing and playing music with her band “My Friend Larry,” traveling, photo blogging, or running around with her two dogs named Daffodil and Dandelion (Daffy and Dandy for short.)
