Julia L. Kay's photostream
|
I live in Northern California in the USA.
For three years, I drew a picture of myself every day, and I recently published a book of the first year of this Daily Portrait Project. It can be found here:

When my Daily Portrait Project ended, I started Julia Kay's Portrait Party (JKPP), an international collaboration of artists making portraits of each other.
I continue to draw or paint every day (so far I've missed one day in about 5 years), and support my art habit as a programmer and data analyst in the field of public health. I train seriously in Aikido, a Japanese martial art. I'm also a certified teacher of the Alexander Technique, which allows you to do everything you already do, from staring at your computer, to training in a sport, with greater poise and ease, less pain, and less likelihood of injury.

"Julia wears many hats ~ and wears them all so well!
At first she impressed me with her self portrait project ~ such perseverance & variety!
Then came the portrait party!! As our hostess, she constantly amazes me with her ability to connect & inspire artists from around the world, building a community that reaches far beyond the internet & flickr.
Julia's willingness to share her artwork & processes has enriched my world in so many ways. I highly recommend spending time in her stream, where you'll get to know the natural born teacher, extraordinary artist, & generous spirit, that is Julia!
Julia ~ Thank you so much for everything!!!"10th January, 2012

"The resident genius and inventer of THE PORTRAIT PARTY and an endlessly unpredictablee, brash, smiling trickster of an artist in her own right, Julia sometimes reminds me of Don Juan, the trickster-sorcerer in Carlos Castaneda's famous series of novels.
Just when one thinks he has discovered how some of her marvelous magic works, she shifts direction and shape ( as an artist) and shows the observer that being possibly the world's greatest organizer is only one of her many gifts.
Like Marcel Duchamp, Rene Magritte and Max Ernst all rolled into one, she is finally most, in my mind, like Picasso: a protean inventor and ceaselessly concentrated maker of small miracles-- for others as well as herself.
Bless her and her many efforts on behalf of all of us. In particular, the conjuror and chief promulgator of the PORTRAIT PARTY deserves a digital bronze plaque for her earnest efforts.
