Still Life
Julie says of her work:” I work with oil in the classical style, from
life, in north light. Fundamental to my work are strong drawing skills,
which I have developed through years of drawing the figure & my
children.
As a painter of still life, I see beauty in all God’s creations.
Man-made objects that have a common universal quality and objects from
the hands of fellow artists have a strong presence in my work.
While the objects I choose to paint are often common, they manifest an
uncommon beauty when the cool north light caresses them and the warmth
of the shadows engulf them. With the paint I strive for the illusion of
the 3rd dimension, to paint the air behind the object and create a
tranquil experience to share.”
*****
Landscape
In recent years Landscape has become more & more a part of her work.
Julie travels the back roads of Vermont with a passion for the small
generational farms like those that her ancestors worked. She has no
desire to leave this land, the beauty of Vermont holds all.
