Bio:

In her illustrations Julia Kerschbaumer reflects how she sees the world, what's important to her and what influenced her in life—so you will see a lot of animals, music, retro/vintage references and humour in her artwork. You will find environmental and political topics there as well.

While illustration is her primary business, she also works in the fields of graphic design, conception, art direction, hand lettering and creative writing for her little design label and studio "Illubelle“. Those professions also influence her illustration style.

Julia is a proud mum of two kids, two cats and a horse. Together with her husband she manages business and family life in the lovely suburbs of Vienna, Austria.
