Julia Bell Ambrose is a surreal figurative expressionist based in Austin, Texas, creating works that explore the inner emotional landscapes of human experience. As a mother of four, her life is rooted in cycles of care, chaos, intimacy, and resilience. These elements naturally surface in her imagery. Figures in her work often exist in altered or dreamlike spaces, reflecting the tension between vulnerability and strength, individuality and responsibility, reality and imagination.
Julia earned her BFA in Studio Art from The University of Texas at Austin and later completed a Master’s degree in Art Education from The University of Maryland. Her background as an educator informs her practice with a strong belief in art as a tool for connection, reflection, and transformation. Living and working in Austin, a city shaped by creativity, contradiction, and growth, continues to influence her visual language and sense of community.
Through her work, Julia aims to create spaces where viewers can recognize fragments of their own emotional lives, inviting empathy, introspection, and dialogue.
Originally from Basalt, CO, Hunter Ash is living and working as an abstract artist in Austin, TX. She earned her BFA at Baylor University where she studied Studio Art.
Using painting as a tool in exploring what it means to cultivate creativity in every-day life, Hunter interprets the intricacies of the emotional human experience through abstract narrative. She has learned to cherish painting as a special type of language, one that is liberating and engaging with room for interpretation. Hunter’s process is tactile and engaging. Using elements such as textured strokes, poured or painted hues, and striking marks, she creates paintings that are intimate and dynamic with plenty of movement and depth, provoking contemplation and discussion.
As she explores what may often be seen as intangible or foreign, her work exposes the unseen through painting in a way that is palatable, visually intriguing and impossible to ignore.
Carol explains that chaos defined her life when she was young and from it, she formed a strong sense of empathy and curiosity about the nature of relationships that she attempts to translate into her art. Carol tells stories in wax and pigment that begin with chaos and some beautiful destruction, which eventually build into many layers of color and texture speaking of how our nature is linked to our surroundings. Encaustic painting is the way Carol gathers the world around her, drawing on her own history and using the language of the materials to concoct fictions that she hopes will resonate with others.

Brittany is an Austin-based artist known for her abstract female portraits and figures. Brittany developed a passion for Shakespeare, Picasso, and Salvador Dali at a young age. She loved drawing, painting, and theater and continued to draw figures and portraits through grade school, high school, and college. When her children were born, Brittany suffered from postpartum depression and the struggle felt endless. She longed for a creative escape that would allow her to reconnect with the strong and creative woman inside her. She quickly turned a spare room at home into a studio and began creating. In that space, she was reminded of the strength and bravery within her.
Margie works with adolescents as a psychiatric nurse. She creates and paints as a way to remind herself of all that is beautiful in nature; it is a meditative and spiritual practice. Margie believes these two things go hand and hand, as she believes in the power of holistic health and the mind, body, and spirit connection. Margie looks for beauty with compassionate eyes to find the innate truth—whether that be a person’s gifts and talents, challenges and hurts, the structure of a bird’s wing, the texture of bark, or the calming colors and quietness in nature.
With 20 years of experience in interior design and 10+ years in the fashion design & sales, Bennett began to apply her tactile creative experience to mixed media artwork. Her new body of work combines graphic modern art with natural objects and ethically sourced handmade textiles. Many of these items & objects are unused or discarded, therefore her art gives them a new purpose and life. As a lifelong naturalist and artist, Bennett seeks to bring attention to natural beauty while combining and presenting them in an impactful, striking, fresh, and modern way.
