Julia Samson

Julia, an emerging self-taught scratchboard artist from New York City, is dedicated to using her art as a medium to raise awareness for biodiversity loss and endangered species on a global scale. Through her art initiative, SulitScratch, she aims to amplify the work of conservation programs worldwide, and uses her art as a way to contribute to their mission. Her particular focus is to incorporate lesser-known species due to their endemism and limited exposure, thereby expanding public knowledge. In the inaugural year of the initiative (2023), her work was featured in The Holy Art VARIOUS Physical Exhibition (London), The Holy Art Art on Loop Exhibition (New York City), Ecological Citizen and Wild Heart Gallery's Wild Art Open International Exhibition. As a professional in Sustainable Finance, her work informs her dedication to environmental causes. Julia is also a recognized member of the International Society of Scratchboard Artists.
