Jul Jankowski is a multimedia visual artist born in Islamorada, Florida. She attended the University of Florida where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in
Painting. Spending time in both the islands of Florida and mountains of Wyoming , her work is inspired by these equally extraordinary expanses on land and sea.

Jankowski is an expressive realist driven by the near-magical undercurrent that lies above and beneath natural world. Whether it’s a fleeting and tender moment of connection or eerie glow that illuminates what lies below the surface of the sea, finding magic in the ordinary is how she connects to something larger. Subjects are often elemental in nature with water, fire, air, and stars at the forefront.

Across painting, drawing, and sculpture, her work functions mostly though, as a celebrative ode to the element of light. Whether mysterious, scientific, or poetic, light’s emergence from darkness is the driving force. Influenced by movements such as the Sublime and Luminism as well as more contemporary uses of high contrast and electric chroma, her goal is to build on these legacies and with a flair for the dramatic delicates, communicate the experience of these illuminated spaces.

Jankowski is currently working out of Limelight Studio and Gallery in Islamorada, Florida. For more work and information, visit the studio at 151 Morada Way (mile marker 81.5) on the Old Road.
