Baker Artist Portfolios

Julia Gould (b. 1999) is an American artist living and working in Baltimore, Maryland. Julia holds a Bachelor of Fine Art degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art, where she majored in Painting, and minored in Printmaking (2022). Within her paintings, the natural world bends, expands, and pulls apart from itself, forming stages for symbolic acts. She moves impishly through feverish landscapes, where slick, high chroma paint articulates key moments, which explore ironies and contradictions between fantasy and reality. These moments reveal issues of character, by way of examining desires.

Julia’s work has been exhibited and awarded by organizations such as the YoungArts Foundation in Miami, the Baltimore Museum of Art, Andrew Reed Gallery in Tribeca, T & Y Projects in Tokyo, The National Society for Arts and Letters in Washington DC, the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation, and New American Paintings. She has also been invited to Anderson Ranch and attended a residency at the Chautauqua School of Visual Arts. In addition she has lectured in the Baltimore area along with exhibiting in solo and invitational, juried exhibitions.
