Hello world,
The name's Julia. I am not going to label myself with trendy labels nor will I underline, bold and or italicize excessively. From somewhere urban in Canada, I design and run this site. I'm a very analytical and poetic person, which has its advantages in many things I do like art and design.
I am a product of divorced parents, something neither shocking or devistating in this day and age. As the oldest sibling, I manipulate and rule over my teenaged moody, estrogen-crazed sister and my 11 year old severe, non-verbal Autistic brother. I find that my siblings, especially my brother are more organized than myself. It's not that I'm unorganized and extremely messy, it's just that I work better mentally. I am more time organized than I am for example, bedroom organized. 
Another member of my family is my old man beagle of a dog, Rocky. He is an extremely lazy and fat dog. Yowzers, I sound like an animal abuser. I don't take him on much walks because he doesn't like to go outside much. However, he gets his exercise when he chases me around the house and backyard for his favourite chew toys. I honestly think that he was a cat in his past life. All he does is sleep and lick himself!
Although I am an artist, in terms of my personally and passion, I am also anayltical and mathematical, which of course is totally opposite to open-minded and infinite thinking. As for my art, I find the influence coming from Surrealism and Realism. My favourite artist is Frida Kahlo. For those who are artistically challenged, it's that Mexican chick with a unibrow and moustache. Anyway, I love to paint! For me, it takes months to complete my painting projects. I am perfectionist, the word itself is an understatement. I won't go into the details of it, but how I cope with things isn't a good thing. I work well with oil paints. I find that sketching is really simple, so I don't base my works on them. However, I use them to sketch out plans and ideas - you know, the intended purpose of a sketch. I've also scuplted before, I enjoyed it, but my passion for it will never be as high and adored as painting.
Classical music and playing the piano is my equally loved passion like visual arts. I love to play the piano! Playing the piano was never an expectation for me, it was always something I loved to do. I find that music, in general, is another canvas for self-expression and limitless possibilities. My favourite composer is Bela Bartok. I obviously admire the "greats" or the well-known classical composers like Mozart, but nothing compares to my emotional attachment to Bartok's work. As for my music preference, I don't limit myself to a single genre. I listen around and take chances. However, my main musical influence would be of course the works of Evanescence and Amy Lee. If you want a detailed explanation to why I "chose" Evanescence, click here.
Here's a list of other musicians that have highly influenced me (in no particular order): Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Sarah Mclachlan, Bjork, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Ani DiFranco, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Arcade Fire, Snow Patrol, Bedouin Soundclash, Tori Amos, Alicia Keys, Depeche Mode, Norah Jones, Smashing Pumpkins, City and Colour, Dire Straits, Simon and Garfunkel, and Eric Clapton.
