"The many layers of Julia’s poignant drawing are sure to make many people pause at the Capitol."

Chellie Pingree, U.S. representative for Maine's 1st district

​

"At first glance, Julia’s drawing gives us the glimpse of a typical teenager with her face apathetically laying on a tabletop, but in looking closer this face shows us the depth of human feeling and emotion expertly drawn with delicate detail and impressive skill."

Kelly Hrenko, competition judge

"Julia’s piece is a masterful work of art on many levels."
