A number of her works are owned by private collectors in the UK and internationally, including the Richard Borchard personal portrait collection. Julia’s schedule combines painting and gallery commitments, as well as a busy teaching practice in London and around the country.Julia completed an MA in Graphics and Illustration at the Latvian Academy of Arts and worked as a freelance and editorial illustrator before opening her own studio.
