Day 470: Julia Lundman
About: “While for many years I have enjoyed a career in animation and games, over time I began to feel a strong desire to develop my own independent, traditional art. In the beginning I wasn’t sure what that might look like. So, I spent a lot of time exploring ideas in my sketchbook and started creating paintings to find what ever felt right. There have been many experiments, do overs, and frustrations, but the journey has always been revealing.Working for myself has changed my point of view drastically. I have learned to trust my instincts more often, stop listening to doubt, and follow through on my ideas. I’ve been surprised at how often particular interests rise to the surface that connect back to things I loved as a child, especially movies, novels, and music.“

Day 469: Kristin Kwan
From Kristin’s about page:
“HELLO!
I am an artist who makes illustrative paintings and drawings. In my work I use elements of fantasy and allegory to explore themes of life, death, and rebirth. I live with my husband, daughter, and crowd of pets in Lincoln, NE.
When I was growing up my family moved many times, and every new home held mysteries and secrets. I dreamed of hidden stairways that led to unknown attics, or cellars underneath that held forgotten treasures. I knew I could get there if I just kept looking. That low door is still elusive, but when I pick up my pencil or paint brush I can find it for a little while. When I paint I try to bring some of that magic country back with me.”
