Juna Horstmans (she/her), is a 27 year old artist and graphic designer that was born in Sydney, Australia. She currently resides in Hackney, East London.

Drawing inspiration from the ever-changing seasons, flora and the simple pleasures of everyday objects, Juna employs her compositional sensibilities to craft a rich body of tactile collage work. When she encounters captivating colours or shapes in her surroundings, Juna habitually captures these moments on her phone and brings them back to her workspace where she directly translates this inspiration into her artwork. Using paper, scissors, and glue, she traces, cuts, and assembles derivatives of the source image. The outcome is a multi-layered process that requires first the folding and positioning of rough shapes, and then slowly building out an intricate composition with miniscule scraps of coloured paper stuck down meticulously.

Born and raised in New South Wales, Australia, Juna began her artistic journey with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art from UNSW's COFA (College of Fine Arts). Through her discovery of screen printing as a favoured medium, she then continued on to work for several screen printing/design businesses in and around Australia. In 2018, Juna moved to the Netherlands and pursued a Bachelor's in graphic design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. Since then, she has established herself as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer, collaborating with diverse brands and organisations, showcasing her creative versatility.
