Julie May (b.2000) is a printmaker artist based in Hong Kong. Graduated from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, her practice subverts social expectation and cultural convention around identity and artistic production. As a printmaker, May endeavoured to extend the nature under which printmaking might exists, through meticulous experimentation, including tonal shifts in blended metal plates and alchemic processes. 

​

May draws inspiration from her own classical view on printmaking, both of Chinese and western influences. Through the mark-making nature of print, she incorporates ‘otherness’ as an artistic strategy to reinforce undermined notions such as legacy and courage. Her newest ‘In Nature’s Vibrato’ series focuses on the permeability of surfaces, by arranging, juxtaposing, colours and textures, they portray images like music, fluid and unfixed.
