About Julia
North Carolina artist Julia Chandler Lawing synchronizes color and brushstroke to capture the essence of a moment and evoke emotion. Her oil paintings have been called extravagantly beautiful, spiritual and inspiring.

Born in Atlanta, Julia moved to St. Simons Island, Georgia, at age 12. The experience of growing up in the Golden Isles instilled a deep appreciation for nature, light, and the wetland landscape.

Julia earned a BA in Journalism/Advertising at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ('90), with a minor in drawing and art history. While employed at Savannah College of Art and Design, and later the Charlotte Observer, she continued her creative exploration through night classes in various mediums including stained glass, woodworking, ceramics and pastels. While her four daughters were small, she taught elementary art classes and docented at the Cabarrus County Arts Council. Soon afterwards, Julia began oil painting and knew she had found her calling.

Julia's work is featured in private collections across the US and Canada, and corporate collections including multiple Towne Bank branches and Georgia State University's College of Law. Her paintings have appeared as billboards, window clings, and sheet metal.

When not traveling or painting on location, Julia creates in her studio at ClearWater Arts Center in Concord's Gibson Village. Visitors welcome.
