Julia Engle Fine Art

Julia is obsessed with color and inspired by being uncomfortable. Currently available for purchases and commissions. When Julia was in first grade, she colored a picture of a bunch of grapes with a royal purple crayon. She chose to color outside the lines because she wanted the grapes to be juicy. Her teacher was disappointed with her picture, saying that she didn’t complete the assignment correct

ly because she had colored outside the lines. Julia knew right then and there that her teacher was full of sh*t, and she was proud of expressing her creativity. She started taking drawing and painting lessons soon after, and her flame for art soon became a bonfire. She doodled constantly, painted large scale vintage magazine backdrops for her high school prom, displayed art wherever she could and stained many a carpet in her parents’ homes until she went to college. Julia studied Art History and Painting at Texas Christian University before dropping out. She’s had many jobs and one career since leaving school, but has never lost her passion for color and expression. The majority of Julia’s paintings start simply with a color scheme and evolve from there. She’s usually not sure what she’s going to paint until she’s completed the piece, but her current series has her impeccably planning each composition, which is very much outside her comfort zone.
