I am a multimedia visual artist, arts 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 with over a decade of experience teaching in museum spaces and other cultural institutions, 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, 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, businesses, residencies, and foundations. If you are interested in hiring me to teach a workshop, feel free to reach out by emailing me at juliaphillipsnorton@gmail.com for more information.
