Julia Hargreaves is a wildlife and conservation artist who was selected twice as a Ducks Unlimited (DUL) National Portfolio Artist. In 2009, she was also selected among 100 of the world’s top bird artists by the prestigious Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum – Birds in Art Exhibition. From the 100 successful artists, 50 are selected to do a nationwide US tour and her painting, Peonies & Chickadee was on tour.
In 2008, she illustrated Birdscapes – a Pop-up Celebration of Birdsong, which is a remarkable feat of paper engineering with 7 different geographical spreads, from the Arctic tundra to the Sonoran Desert. When you open the pages the bird sing (in stereo). It was featured in the Dec 2008 Oprah magazine as a top 10 gift to buy for Christmas.
She is a member of Artists for Conservation, which is a juried membership of 500 wildlife artists from around the world.
In 2005 Julia was selected from thousands of artists worldwide to appear in International Artists publication – How Did You Paint That – 100 Ways to Paint still Life and Florals.
Jury Process
Your digital photos (JPEG) will be sent to our juror. The juror will not see your original artwork. It is vital that you send the best photo that you can. Our juror will pick the winners of each category and only the ones the juror selects will be asked to display their artwork in the Fine Arts Show. Artists will be notified regarding their entry if selected by our Juror. The Winners List will be finalized after all pieces have been received and hung in the gallery. If a piece that was juried in for the gallery show has not been received, it cannot win an award.

Original Art
Original art means work that you have conceived in your own mind. Copying from another’s work in any way shape or form is not permitted.
A project done in a workshop is not permitted. This ensures that the product you are presenting is 100% yours and has only your input in it. A piece that has been critiqued in an art group meeting is permitted.
JPEG Digital Photos
The JPEG photos are also a statement of what your art will look like when entered. If the entry does not match the photo, it will not be accepted. No substitutions. These photos should exclude the frame and any type of background. Artwork should be well lit with no shadows. The image should fill the photo. If the work is considered inappropriately presented in appearance (framing etc.) it is up to the discretion of the show co-coordinator on whether to accept the piece.
Insurance
Insurance for artwork is the artist’s responsibility. All possible precautions are done to ensure security of work and in a secure facility.
Artwork will be posted on our Website
Photos of artwork that have placed in any category will be posted on our website. A copyright graphic will be used on each image and the images will not be available for download by the public.
