Meet Julia, one of Big Magic Studio’s radiant artists whose heart beats to the rhythm of the ocean waves and the jingle of boutique doors in sunny Sarasota. She’s a beach bum with a shopping bag in one hand and a sketchbook in the other, and she’s turning life’s curveballs into creative gold.
Recently, Julia faced one of the hardest heartbreaks of all—the passing of her beloved dog, Lily. But instead of letting grief dim her light, she leaned into positive thinking, art, and the hope of welcoming a new furry friend soon. (Let’s be honest, this next pup has big paws to fill.)
Through Big Magic, Julia isn’t just looking to sharpen her artistic chops—though, trust us, she’s got skills we might just need her to teach. She’s also here to meet new people, form friendships, and remind all of us that healing and hope can show up in the form of a paintbrush, a sunset walk, or the joy of saying, “Let’s make art together.”
We’re lucky to have her energy, humor, and style in the studio. Give it up for Julia — beachside muse and Big Magic superstar!
