She started attending graduate school at CCAD in 2017. In 2017, Hamilton was able to make art her full-time profession by going part-time at her IT job. She sometimes lights the alcohol ink on fire, letting the flames create interesting shapes and textures. In 2015, Hamilton began using alcohol ink to add bold, unstructured components to her artwork. She began showing her work in 2014 and established an art practice (Art by Julia Hamilton, LLC). Her background in IT made using technology in the creation of artwork a natural fit. In 2014, Hamilton began painting on her iPad with her finger, creating artwork using the same art nouveau style. This new style renewed her passion for her artwork, making it an essential part of her daily life.
