Julie Playl

Julie Playl is a Lecturer in Art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's College of Fine Arts. She holds a BFA in Print Media from Memphis College of Art, and an MFA/MA in Print Media, Letterpress, Paper, and Book Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

• Specializes in printmaking, letterpress, and book arts
• Exhibited internationally in California, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Florence, Italy
• Focuses on introspective works exploring anxiety, control, and sensory experiences

Julie's artistic practice stems from daily inward experiences, transforming mundane elements into tactile, emotionally evocative works. She engages with marginalized cognitive perspectives through physical and sensory expression. Her studio practice involves hands-on work with materials like paper pulp, clay, and her Vandercook press "Vlad."
