Julia Lambright - Comrades

From the "Synaxis" series. Julia Lambright was born in Russia. Following a BFA degree with honors from University of New Mexico, she received her MFA in Painting and Drawing, embracing traditions of egg tempera. Currently she lives and works in Albuquerque. "As far back as I can remember I have been captivated by art. I was born and raised in Russia and my artistic path began with Soviet poster boards that I designed for my school’s competitions. Years after, my attraction to fashion, allowed me to express my artistic vision practicing as a make-up artist. After immigration to United States I discovered painting, which became my passion and voice, especially for subjects that are not easily expressed verbally. Through my work, I aim to engage the viewer in the places where seeing things reveals new ways, and where ideas intersect with an individual’s consciousness." - Lambright
