Julian has been working for Painting with a Twist since December of 2021. He didn't do very much painting before he worked here, but grew to love it and now does rather often outside of work! His most distinctive art, however, is definitely his puppets. He designs and hand-sews his own unique felt puppet characters, each of them special and with their own personalities. His favorite things include birds, biology, and Jojo's bizarre adventure. You'll be sure to leave with a beautiful work of art if you take a class with Julian!
