Julie Martini is a visual artist based in Boston, MA. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Art at Carleton College and her MFA in 2D Fine Arts at the Massachusetts College of Art & Design. She works in drawing, painting, and installation.

Increasingly, her practice has included work in the public and community art realms. She recently worked with over 200 children to create a collaborative large-scale installation called “Building with Light” that explored light through the lenses of science and art. The installation was exhibited at The Museum of Fine Arts from May - October 2017.
