Art by Jul is the working studio of local muralist Julie Engelmann, whose large-scale public artworks have become part of the visual fabric of Half Moon Bay. Her Cunha’s Country Store mural is a Pumpkin Festival favorite, and her striking Azulejo-inspired piece on the IDES building blends history and artistry in equal measure.
In her studio, Julie showcases a mix of mural studies, canvas paintings, and digital work, all rooted in her signature style—detailed, often surreal, and rich with story. Whether working in fine art acrylics or spray paint, Julie brings a collaborative spirit and thoughtful precision to every project, using color, composition, and cultural context to bring meaningful visions to life.
