Collection: Julia Felsenthal | The Readings We Give The Sky

Victoire Bourgois, Julia Felsenthal and Marian Williams

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 T: the New York Times Style Magazine and Vogue. A lifelong painter, Felsenthal turned her focus to making art full time while living on Cape Cod during the Covid pandemic. Her 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. She had her first New York solo show, Thalassomania, at JDJ gallery in Tribeca in June 2023.
