About Julia Solano

Julia Solano is a plein air painter and risograph printmaker based in Oakland, California of Ilokano and Bisaya descent. Rooted in a deep love of nature and the quiet magic of place, my work translates moments of land, light, and memory into thoughtfully crafted art prints, greeting cards, and stickers. Each piece begins outdoors and is created to evoke a sense of grounding, nostalgia, and belonging. Designed to be accessible yet meaningful, these works invite one to slow down, (re)connect with place, and carry a small piece of beauty into their homes or gift-giving rituals.Read their story
