Artist Bio:
Julie grew up as a horse-obsessed child who drew equines monomaniacally out of unrequited love (she has since trained in dressage and jumping). Her imagery is a contemporary take on the wildlife, horses, and rodeo of the modern American west, in a “disrupted realism” style. These paintings are a response to the fragmented nature of our current environment (social, political, and natural), and they are meant to inspire questions.
These pieces demand more from her than any other body of work she has done before…but they are meant to be evocative, and just as the paintings require her intense focus, she asks a lot of her viewers: that they participate in not just looking, but seeing.
Her art is featured in galleries, museum shows, and collections throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia. In 2024, a painting of hers won second place in The Almenara Art Prize international competition. Magazines including Southwest Art, Big Sky Journal , and Western Art & Architecture (among others) have covered her work.
