Julia Felsenthal

(b. 1983) is a painter and writer working in Brooklyn and Cape Cod. Born and raised in Chicago, she studied English at Yale University and has written extensively about art and culture for various national magazines. A lifelong painter, Felsenthal turned her focus to making art full time while living on Cape Cod during the Covid pandemic. Her series of water paintings emerged from the eeriness and anxiety of that time, and have evolved to reflect the ways that small permutations of the quotidian can become endlessly captivating and sublime. Her work has been exhibited recently at JDJ, Timothy Taylor, Charles Moffett, Hunter Dunbar Projects and Planthouse in New York City, as well as at galleries across the outer Cape, on Block Island, in Woodstock, NY and in Seattle, Washington.
