Julia Signe is a Norwegian-American fine artist and photographer based out of Chicago, IL. As a young adult, she spent time in Europe, Asia, Oceania, and Central America to further her studies and work experiences; all of which have left distinct marks on her practice. Julia's artistic journey is characterized by an exploration of vulnerability, trauma, and freedom. Her work serves as a narrative of introspection and resilience, drawing from personal experiences and observations of the holistic human condition- body, mind, and spirit. She received her BFA in painting from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) in 2022 where she first explored her 'Bird People' series. Her work has been exhibited at Richard Heller Gallery (LA) and Povos Gallery (Chicago).
