Julia Martin was born and raised in Nashville, TN. Though she studied Fine Arts at The School of Visual Arts’, her studio practice of 20 years has solidified her as a self taught artist. An integral member of Nashville’s Art Community, she opened her namesake gallery in 2013. Best known for her vibrant, otherworldly portraits, Martin’s work has expanded to hand carved polychrome sculpture and more abstract composition. Guided by intuition Martin’s hand is distinctly emotive and unmistakable.
