Julia Feldman is a visual artist based in Northern California. She works predominantly in the medium of fibers with a strong propensity towards found materials. Her work reflects her concern for repairing the earth and encouraging conversation through art towards a kinder and peaceful world.

With a sense of play, a commitment to question, and a desire for the viewer to contemplate, my art seeks causal recognition that we are an all-inclusive group. We live in challenging times, and we experience change, share mistakes, and rejoice in the good – and the difficult – together. Many have been treated unfairly; some have so much more than others. I believe, though, that if we are respectful and creative and work hard we can still repair the world.  It is against this backdrop that I focus my work into larger themes.  My recent examinations are the effect climate change has on animals and trees.
