Color is prominently involved in McGillicuddy’s pieces as a display of her bight and bold personality. Julia finds beauty in the process of creating art. Her pieces regularly incorporate handwriting and notes to demonstrate the process of each piece as a whole. She draws her artistic inspiration from Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Frida Kahlo and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
