Have you had a moment in your life when you found yourself standing at the edge of a fire? Feeling a pull towards a kind of transformation.
Arts Voice For Planet Earth
Early in my young career as an artist I would purchase pre-stretched and primed canvases. One day I decided to increase the volume of my work, so I went out and purchased six of these canvases in various sizes. When I got back to my studio I unwrapped each one canvas from its plastic shrink-wrap.
Art Heals the Heart
There is no excuse not to follow your dreams. In following your dreams you find who you are, or in my case who I was. I was able to regain the joy in my life that had escaped me. I became my own best friend. I started dating art. We have a great relationship now. We have many children.
Pink Paintings
This collection of paintings are monotone pink portraits exploring ideas concerning superficiality, sexuality, commodity fetishism, complacency, beauty, distraction and the female identity.
The joy of colour
Much of my painting inspiration comes from our spectacular west coast scenery although I have been greatly influenced by the many different people and countries I have visited. I am awed by the beauty and diversity the entire world has to offer.
Manitoba Magic
For the most part they are based upon a lifetime of unforgettable moments on the prairie through all the seasons. Experiences and memories from time spent at my family cottage at Victoria Beach, from living and growing up in Winnipeg, and from my many travels throughout the Province.
Cold Feet
While reaching for new heights in the art world I got cold feet. Not only painting on top of the mountain in the cold but in my spirit regarding putting together art work for a jurying process.
Seductive Quality of Light and Paint
Julie’s young daughter says of her technique, “you use a big brush and too much paint…”. This may be the case in her daughter’s eyes, yet it is the surface of rich paint that invites the viewer to reflect upon the light, the reflection and the quietness that the imagery evokes.
Painting Books to Honour the Past
Reading was always an escape for me. Growing up in a household with seven children, an alcoholic father, and more than a few relocations – books grounded me in a necessary ‘unreality’. Reading, for me, was a tool for coping.
Gesture, Energy and Time
I have always been enthralled by how a gesture can be recorded using simple tools and materials to reveal complex expression of spirit and time; charcoal and graphite, a sharp point or a dollop of paint freezes an action to be savoured with thoughtful contemplation.
