My name is Julia Nilsson. Welcome to a creative space dedicated to thoughtful, human-made art inspired by the beauty of nature and the divine creations of God. I am an oil painter, illustrator, and surface pattern designer who finds joy in transforming organic forms, natural textures, and spiritual inspiration into meaningful visual artwork. Every piece I create is rooted in intention, craftsmanship, and a deep appreciation for the world around us.
My work reflects a love for both traditional fine art and versatile design. Through oil painting, I explore depth, emotion, and timeless techniques that bring subjects to life. As an illustrator and surface pattern designer, I translate those same inspirations into adaptable designs suited for textiles, stationery, home goods, and creative collaborations. Whether working on a single canvas or a repeating pattern, my goal is to create art that feels warm, purposeful, and enduring.
I am especially passionate about collaborating with individuals and brands who value authenticity and stand for human creativity in an increasingly AI-saturated world. I believe there is something irreplaceable about art created by hand—art that carries the artist’s vision, faith, and lived experience. This philosophy guides every project I take on, from commissioned artwork to licensed designs.
Nature plays a central role in my creative process, serving as a constant source of inspiration through its colors, rhythms, and intricate details. My faith also deeply influences my work, shaping not only what I create, but how I create—with gratitude, care, and respect for beauty as a reflection of something greater.
I invite you to explore my portfolio to see a selection of my artwork and pattern designs.

I would love to work together to create art that adds beauty, meaning, and authenticity to the world.
