JULIA FERRELL
VISUAL ARTIST

Born and raised in Natchitoches, Louisiana, Julia Ferrell has been creating art from a very young age. She is currently exploring working with clay and metal to express her personal lived experiences in universally relatable and embraceable themes. Julia is majoring in fine arts with a concentration in Ceramics at ULL.
"My artistic practice is currently embedded in my lived experience and the meditative space that clay provides for me. Forming and manipulating clay from our Earth allows time to slow down for reflection and peaceful encounters. While clay is my main medium, I love working with other media- especially metals. Whether creating a sculptural piece or practical ware, my goal is to enhance the holding space with beauty and/ or functionality. Each piece emerges from a delicate balance of intention and spontaneity. The tactile nature of the clay itself becomes a form of meditation, where focus and stillness guide me toward a deeper understanding of my own creative voice."
