Hi there! My name is Julia Rooney, and I’m an artist and a writer. I recently graduated from Ringling College of Art & Design, where I received my BFA in Illustration under the visual development program. My main passion lies in background art, especially in creating backgrounds that are full of clutter and story. Turning to the world around me for inspiration, I’m fascinated by forests full of interestingly shaped trees, and tall, grand architecture. I can spend hours sketching a building in my sketchbook for fun. When I’m not drawing, you can find me watching Survivor, taking a dance class, or baking cupcakes for my friends!
