I am a multimedia visual artist, educator, and researcher with a primary focus on natural materials. In my art practice, I aim to work with imagery and materials that correlate with my interest in life cycles and regeneration.

As an educator I believe in fostering creative exploration, self determination, cultural connections, open inquiry, and a critical mindset as I engage with students of all ages and backgrounds. I have taught a broad range of workshops and multi-session programs at art spaces such as Dia Beacon, Swiss Institute, The Noguchi Museum, The American Folk Art Museum, The Queens Museum, and Harvard Art Museums. Through these education offerings I hope to inspire ongoing exploration, curiosity, and conversation.

I teach workshops and lecture at various sites in addition to arts institutions - including schools, universities, artist-run spaces, businesses, and foundations. If you are interested in hiring me to teach a workshop, feel free to reach out by emailing me at julia@julia-norton.com for more information.
