Raised playing the violin,having a formal education in philology , Julia Cher made a major career change in 2000 by moving to NYC. Love for art , design and photography eventually led to pursue it as a profession in New York City where she earned her degree in Design at FIT. Her interest in the idea of beauty and its various forms has led her to a career in fashion photography as well as to the creation of digital art that is focused on nature. Her artistic works are often close observations of flora and fauna that are easily and often overlooked. Her photographs include details of rocks and minerals, that are often at first unrecognizable as elements from the natural world. Bands of minerals in agate stone can look like pouring paint or hard candy. Her brightly colored images encourage extended observation and evince a sense of wonder at nature’s intricacy and bounty.
A published artist with no influences and vivid imagination, Cher strives to develop her own signature style and techniques resulting in uniqueness and originality of her work.
Cher wishes also for her art to stimulate the viewer’s sense of awe and respect towards nature and to make visible some of the infinite beauty in the world around us. In Julia Cher's words, "Nature is Art. Give it a closer look. There is so much Beauty in this world."
