Only trivial, interviews, etc with no deep real media focus on the Julia. The best piece from ARTnews has this:
- “Clay,” she says, “gives me the freedom to create something intense, raw, over the top. It has allowed me to pile things up, break things down, play, and make mistakes.” Kunin loves the immediacy of a material that is “as basic as mud,” she points out. “I am addicted to the unpredictability and iridescence of the glazes I’m using as well as the range of their colors and their psychedelic qualities.”
- Kunin grew up in Vermont in the ‘70s..... Later, she says, she rejected clay as a dull brown “craft” material but returned to it in 2003. She started exploring female sexuality and the body and began using octopuses for more metaphorical imagery. Frustrated by a series in cast glass, “I happened on an exhibit by the Chinese artist Ah Xian, who creates busts painted in traditional Chinese porcelain patterns from Jingdezhen, China. That initial spark of an idea has kept me going now for ten years.” Qab Bi Av (talk) 14:01, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

- Comment I have removed multiple embedded links. I will go back to check the sourcing on some of the claims. Seems to be drawn from non-primary sources for bio and CV type material. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:23, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. User:Qab Bi Av, as I noted on your other recent nomination, please review the guidelines at WP:BEFORE - before nominating an article for deletion, you should not just check the current sources but also "search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability" and "try first raising your concerns on the article's talk page". I looked her up, found several additional sources, and added them to the article. WP:ARTIST is the relevant notability guideline, and as far as I can tell, she qualifies including under the criteria of "won significant critical attention".

- Keep per WP:HEY. Based on her competitive residencies and grants (see Yaddo and Fulbright Scholarship), and works exhibited at the center of the North American art world, she easily passes WP:NARTIST. Bearian (talk) 02:15, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
