Julie K. Hansard (Julie K. Art) is an artist and illustrator living in South Carolina. Working primarily in watercolor, Julie enjoys exploring how the delicate patterns of medieval illuminated manuscripts interact with the endangered species of our world.

When she’s not painting, she’s working as the Creative Director for an independent bookstore. She is passionate about art history and conservation education, teaching workshops, and leading art history book clubs.

You’ll most likely find her snuggling her cats, drinking tea and pretending she’s in a castle far away.
