Julia Norton (born in New York in 1985) holds an MFA from Purchase College, State University of New York, Harrison, and an EdM from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Cambridge, Massachusetts. She has exhibited and participated in domestic and international residencies and has worked as an arts educator since 2012. In her practice, Norton paints with natural pigments, dyes, and inks, which she forages for and collects globally, and explores how to use these colors while being mindful of their respective histories.
