Julia Couzens 

For our January meeting we have artist Julia Couzens. She has shown her drawings, sculpture, and textile constructions in scores of museum and gallery exhibitions throughout the United States and internationally. Her most recent local exhibition, “hundred and fifty-two self-portraits (give or take)” at b.sakata garo, October 2022, was widely seen.  Couzens work is held in the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco; Berkeley Art Museum; Butler Institute of American Art; Crocker Art Museum; Manetti-Shrem Museum of Art; Oakland Museum of California; Weatherspoon Art Museum; and Yale University Art Gallery.  Couzens has been recognized with a Louis Comfort Tiffany Visual Artist Fellowship; Roswell Artist-in-Residence grant; and Art Matters Visual Artist Fellowship (NY); as well as twice nominated for a SECA Award at SFMOMA, most recently in 2022.

Couzens was born and raised in Auburn, California.  She received her M.F.A. from the University of California, Davis in 1990.  She divides her time between Los Angeles and her home on Merritt Island, outside the Sacramento River Delta community of Clarksburg where she lives with her husband, dogs, cat, chickens, and bees.
