About Julia Lehman 

Julia Lehman is an illustrator, fiber and mixed-media artist from the Philadelphia region. She has a undergraduate degree in art history as well as a master’s in education from Rutgers University. After working for several years in elementary and early childhood education, Julia decided to pursue her dream of being an artist full-time.

Much of Julia’s work is inspired by her studies in art history. She is particularly fascinated with the human figure as a motif and a means to explore the nature of embodiment. Julia additionally takes inspiration from the feminist fiber arts tradition, and purposefully mixes painting with fiber art elements to challenge the distinction between fine art and craft.
