Julia Sweda

At Artworks by Julia, we are a studio gallery dedicated to creating unique, hand-painted tile, glass, and porcelain artworks. Our mission is to provide our clients with custom, made-to-order designs that surpass their expectations and exceed their decorating goals.

Our Services

We specialize in creating custom hand-painted tiles, tile murals, and glass paintings for various applications, including kitchen backsplashes, bathroom floors, showers, walls, and more. Our designs are original, unique, and made to order, ensuring that each piece is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. We do not use mass-produced decals, photo transfers, or sublimations, as we believe that true artistry requires the human touch.

Our process begins with a free, no-obligation consultation and quote, where we work closely with our clients to understand their vision and design preferences. Our artist, Julia Sweda, uses her expertise and creative eye to bring the design to life, using traditional kiln-firing techniques to ensure that the artwork is durable and long-lasting.

Quality and Artistry

Our commitment to quality and artistry is unmatched. We use only the finest materials and techniques to ensure that every piece of artwork is a masterpiece. Our designs are diverse, ranging from peaceful and serene to lighthearted and cheerful to nostalgic bygone eras. We also draw inspiration from various artistic styles, including the Old Masters, Japanese Ukiyoe, and woodblock prints.

Artistic Background

Julia Sweda, our artist, has a rich artistic background that spans decades. She began her commercial art school training in New Jersey, followed by three years of study in Arizona to learn porcelain and china painting.
