Hello!

Meet Julia

Hi there. 🌞 I’m Julia Bush, a fine artist and a credentialed art teacher with over 10 years of teaching experience. Teaching students the artistic process and then finally getting to see the ultimate result is always the best part of my job. There is so much creativity in this world and believe it or not, you have it in you too! Although I grew up drawing anything, painting everything, and rearranging my room and dreaming of the impeccably interior designed home I would live in, I have also been trained by other artists and educators that have shaped the artist and person I am today. I have a BA in Studio Arts from CSU Channel Islands and a MA in Education from California Lutheran University.

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

Come join an art community with us and find yourself and the talent that exists within you! 🍄
