Breaking Free Series
Julia’s paintings from the Breaking Free series convey a sense of freedom and ingenuity. She explores novel ways of interacting with paint while giving chance a leading role. Unbroken lines are created by by tilting the surface in different directions to find the unexpected. Incidental shapes spring to life after pressing two paintings together and pulling them apart. The resulting images jump off the surface, the nuances demand attention, and the meaning of each painting is left to the imagination of the viewer. —ArtFolio statement
