Julia Bangert is a book illustrator who crafts hand-made designs into text. Her work with the Gutenberg Society led to combine her passion for painting with theoretical knowledge and she worked for the Gutenberg Shop in Mainz, which reproduces individual pages from the Gutenberg Bible. Julia was born in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Germany in 1987. Her mother Katrin Hoffman is a writer and musician, and her estranged father, Oliver Streigel, a graphic designer. As the only child, Juliet indulged in drawing portraits and animals and although she enjoyed art she decided instead to focus her studies on book science, the German language, literature, and art history at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz where she graduated with her Masters degree in 2012 and a PhD in 2017. During that time she focused on the work of Johannes Gutenberg, the German inventor and craftsman who invented the printed press. She says: ‘I was particularly fascinated by the transitional phase, when the new technology allowed mass production of text, but the initials and decorations were still added by hand which made each copy unique.’ Since 2013 Julia has been working part-time as a freelance artist specializing in the field of book painting and takes commissions from around the world. She lives in Eisenberg, Germany with her husband Stephan.
