About Julia

Julia Morrisroe is an artist and Professor of Painting and Drawing in the School of Art + Art History at the University of Florida. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Northern Illinois University and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Washington. Morrisroe joined the University of Florida in 2004 and has served as both associate professor and full professor in painting and drawing. Her creative research centers on the question of what it takes to make a painting today in an era of instantaneous image replication, expansion, enhancement, and association. This leads to explorations of hyper-contextualized images through paintings, drawings, installations, murals, and clusters of paintings that reflect on contemporary issues such as Confederate monument debates and environmental disasters like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Her site-specific projects and public art commissions include works at the University of Florida, Jacksonville International Airport, Purdue University, Bakehouse Art Complex, Carnegie Mellon University, SPACES Cleveland, and the South Bend Museum of Art.
