About ART by J
Bold. Vibrant. Unapologetically Original.
Welcome to Art by J, where expressive color and free-flowing creativity come together in a dazzling display of mixed media artistry. Based in Lake Havasu City, AZ Julia Robles is a passionate visual artist who transforms the energy of color into striking original works — from canvas paintings and statement jewelry to fashion-forward apparel, unique home décor, and functional art pieces like hand-painted shoes and accessories.
Julia’s journey began with a deep love for abstract art and a fascination with how colors interact, blend, and move. She specializes in fluid acrylic pouring, a method that allows for organic shapes, dynamic textures, and an unpredictable beauty that makes every piece truly one-of-a-kind. Over the years, Julia has expanded her creative process into a diverse catalog of artwork, wearable fashion, and decor — all infused with her signature style: bold movement, rich pigments, and raw emotional depth.
Original Art for Every Part of Life
What makes Art by J so unique is her ability to extend the canvas beyond the wall. Her creations are not just meant to be seen — they're meant to be worn, shared, and lived in.
-
Canvas & Wall Art – Each painting is a standalone statement. Whether it’s a serene flow of cool tones or a high-energy burst of vibrant reds and golds, these pieces elevate any space with color and emotion.
-
Jewelry – Hand-poured resin and acrylic components become stunning pendants, earrings, and rings. No two are ever the same — a wearable expression of art.
-
Apparel – Julia designs fashion pieces with her artwork directly onto high-quality fabric. Flowing kimonos, bold pants, and artistic accessories allow customers to wear their creativity with pride.
-
Custom Shoes & Accessories – From high-tops to slip-ons, Julia’s custom footwear and artful accessories combine comfort and individuality in every step.
The Power of Artistic Expression
Every item created by Julia reflects a belief in the power of color and creativity to uplift, inspire, and connect people. She believes that art should be accessible, meaningful, and woven into the fabric of everyday life — whether it’s hanging in your living room, wrapped around your shoulders, or sparking conversation at a local art show.
Her designs are ideal for collectors, fashion-forward creatives, art lovers, and gift-givers looking for something that can’t be found anywhere else. With an ever-evolving body of work, Julia embraces the unpredictable beauty of her process and the stories it tells.
Art With Heart
Julia creates in small, intentional batches — emphasizing quality over quantity, and celebrating the uniqueness of each brushstroke, swirl, and bubble.
Many of her pieces are inspired by nature, emotion, music, and movement, and her deep respect for artistic freedom shines through in everything she does.
