Juliana Garcia was born on March 5th, 1997, in Virginia. She is know for thinking outside of the box, utilizing various mediums and items to create a cohesive and unique piece of art, but her preferred mediums are mixed media and oil paints. She is still finding herself, using her roots and other things to inspire her works. Her favourite colour is aqua, because she finds it to be calming to look at, which is interesting considering she does not like blue and green as separate colours.
When asked who her favorite artist was, Garcia responded almost immediately, smiling as she said Frida Kahlo. She admires that Kahlo stayed true to herself and her culture, and that she didn't let stereotypes or the "proper" way of doing things keep her down and define her. Garcia herself dislikes labels and the stigma that comes with them, so that might contribute to her admiration.
Garcia hopes to have a career as a designer for magazines or for commercials, with writing on the side. To pursue this goal, she has worked rigorously in school, taking IB art programs and applying to KCAI. As for her major, Garcia believes illustration would help her towards her dream the most.
