About

Julia Hornedo is a writer and artist from San Diego, California. She lives and works in Chicago and is completing her BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  

​

She has explored a variety of materials in her practice, but typically works in fiction, comics, and sculptural ceramics with some work in drawing, bookmaking, printmaking, and handmade paper. She primarily describes herself as a storyteller, and focuses on building narratives through words, images, and three dimensional forms. Her fondness for speculative world construction is fueled by her foundation in a research based practice interested in esotericism, mythology, fairy tales, horror, queer theory, post-colonial theory, and religion.

​

She is currently reading Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. LeGuin
