Julia Margot Vitz McGibbon

I was born in 2002 in New York City, moved to the south for a time, and then moved back to NY at the age of ten. Though I’ve been painting and drawing since I can remember, I began my formal art training at the age of twelve. I attended the Russian Bridgeview School of Fine Arts in Queens until I was fifteen and then Grand Central Atelier (GCA) starting at sixteen. I began studying there after receiving a scholarship to attend the three-week intensive Teens Bootcamp during the summer. At seventeen, I joined GCA’s core program for two years and graduated in 2021. I was then accepted into the Hudson River Fellowship that summer which I attended in order to learn more about landscape and plein air. I am now a third year at the University of Notre Dame studying classical architecture. The program is five years, though the third year (which I am in currently) is based entirely in Rome, Italy. Although I am studying I still accept commission work so please reach out to me if you are interested :)
