Julia Finucane
Fantasy Pop Artist
New York, NY


What do you do?
I am an artist who loves the fantasy world, fairy tales, dreams, and lowbrow art. I paint whimsical big eye girls and little birdies that not only have a fantasy feel, but also a twist of pop culture added to them. When I am not painting, I am sewing my 'droopy heart' rag dolls which are one of a kind with their hand painted faces.

How do you do it?
I paint mainly in acrylics but like to experiment with different surfaces including wood, papers, masonite board, and canvas. I also paint on on fabric for my rag dolls. I paint in all different sizes from 24" x 36" inches to aceo cards which measure 2.5" x 3.5" inches. Before I start to paint, I research the subject matter and than sketch out my ideas completely before placing it on my surface and adding even more details. I then paint in layers to build up color and add my highlights at the end.




Why do you use iPrintfromHome.com?
I first learned about iPrintfromHome.com from the Etsy forums and heard nothing but the best. They are also from my hometown of Buffalo, ny so that was an added bonus because I love supporting local businesses. I ordered prints from them and was impressed by the quality, bold colors, and crispness. The customer service is also of the highest. They answered every email I wrote to them answering every question. I would recommend them to any artist who wants prints of their artwork.
