Julia Vargas Maldonado is a freshman Environmental Science major at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, TX. While she is still exploring her career passions, she wants to contribute to environmental sustainability and maybe sell her own art. She graduated from Granbury High School with honors and is now part of the Honors College at Tarleton. She was born in Puerto Rico, raised bilingual, and moved to Texas at 8 years old. She's been doing art since childhood and currently works mostly creating multi-media art, mixing oil pastels, crayons, alcohol markers, colored pencils, and even stickers to create fun textures. She also enjoys trying out many hobbies like sewing, making stickers, carving stamps, making jewelry, crocheting, and sculpting. Despite normally creating traditional art, she has started to experiment with digital art.
