Hello! 🌞

Meet Julia

Julia Bush is a fine artist and a credentialed art teacher with over 10 years of teaching experience. Teaching students the artistic process and having the privilege of seeing the ultimate result is always the most fulfilling aspect of teaching for Julia. She believes that there is so much creativity in this world and that you have it in you too! Although Julia grew up drawing anything, painting everything, and rearranging her room while dreaming of the impeccably interior-designed home she would live in, she has also been trained by other artists and educators that have shaped the artist and person she is today. Julia has a BA in Studio Arts from CSU Channel Islands and a MA in Education from California Lutheran University. She is also a published author and illustrator of the children’s book “My Patio”.

Over her years in the field, Julia has gained a long list of valuable skills and extensive experience as a mixed-media artist as well as a teacher of people of all ages and different skill sets. In addition to a wide range of artistic abilities, Julia has deep knowledge of art vocabulary and critique methods. She can share guidance for the Advanced Placement Art Portfolio and for students putting together college portfolios for their best chance of acceptance. Her awareness of contemporary, successful, and accomplished art is continually expanding, and she maintains connections throughout the art world—including fine artists, critics, professionals, and major and local art colleges. Julia also possesses substantial experience curating art shows and coordinating large collaborative projects. Julia's greatest love is being a mother of two young children, whom she homeschools, which is where she has discovered a passion for combining art and the daily lessons of the world. Julia believes that everyone truly can learn to create art confidently and that begins with exploration, technique, patience, acceptance, and trust in the art-making process.
