Julia Lundman is both a traditional fine artist and seasoned commercial artist in San Francisco, creating paintings and drawings inspired by myth, folklore and fantasy. Her work is influenced by 19th century pre-Raphaelites artists, Victorian fantasy painters and a love of Medieval art and design. Painting in oil or acrylic, her process begins with sketching, developing ideas further on paper or canvas. Her technique moves from a detailed underpainting (grisaille) to glazed layers of color and refined detail, utilizing historic art traditions, often incorporating natural material collage like gold leaf, oxidized metals, pressed flowers and leaves.

Julia graduated from the American Academy of Art in downtown Chicago in 1993. She began her professional career as a background painter at Calabash Animation, a traditional animation studio representing General Mills, and designed on two independent short films, "Heads Will Roll" (Dir. Wayne Brejcha) and visual art direction on "Stubble Trubble" (Dir. Joe Merideth), nominated for an Academy Award in 2000 in the Animated Shorts category.

Her experience brought her to San Francisco to work in games at Electronic Arts, Zynga, and Disney Interactive, where she Art Directed "Kitchen Scramble". After which, she Art Directed three seasons of Disney Junior's "Whisker Haven Tales with the Palace Pets", created and produced at Ghostbot in San Francisco and illustrated a Little Golden Book inspired by the Palace Pets.
