Dealing With COVID-19 As A Professional Artist, Using Art As Therapy, And Using Photography To Speak On Social Issues

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a source of drastic changes and frustrations around all of us this year.

Among her achievements, Julia was the first female photographer to shoot for the esteemed Campari calendar and became a Hasselblad Master in 2008.
