After being in the industry for 10 years Julia Breckenreid has developed a deeper understanding of what she needs and wants to say in her illustrations. She also has a better handle on problem solving which is key when trying to juggle her clients' demands with her own nostalgic style. Her conceptual work, which is mostly created with acrylic paints, is usually very small scale. For larger stuff, she usually holds off until one of her shows which usually happens once or twice a year.

Based in the eastern edge of Leslieville. Breckenreid focuses on freelance work 4 days a week and takes time out on the fifth day to teach illustration at Sheridan College. This past Summer she collaborated on an art project - New York City: Real and Imagined - with participants of the ICON illustration Conference. And most recently, Breckenreid finished her first children's book, 'An Eye for Color, The Story of Josef Albers', which will be published by Henry Holt next Spring.
