Julia Shulgina

Originally from Kharkov, Ukraine, Julia began painting at age 3. After graduating in 2014 from the Kharkov University School of Urban Economy, she continued to pursue her interest in art.
Currently she is experimenting with different genres including classic, abstract, naïve, and figurative drawing using multiple media, e.g, watercolor, acrylic, ink, etc.
