Julia Oehmke, a portrait
artist and sculptor, studied in the Classical Style at the
Drisi School of Fine Art and later at the renowned studio
of Koh-Varilla for sculpting.

editions of the Chicago Art Scene book published by Ivey Sundell

her painting "Freedom" for a book cover, "Native
American Justice".

Art is limitless and it
compels me to work. We are creatures who need the near and
the familiar as well as the exotic. Art arises in the human
spirit beyond the reach of words, from the levels of our deepest
memories.
I have to find the reason for painting a thing. Actually,
I don't care whether a painting is representational or purely
abstract in its form, either it's good or bad.
