Artist’s Statement
In order to come to terms with the tumultuousness of recent years, Julie relies on her work to express what her words cannot. To distract herself from the outward gaze, she uses introspection to draw the viewer in and out of her psyche through a process called "sculptural abstraction". With her intuition, Julie builds texture, adds/scrapes away, and layers rich glazes to present her most vulnerable places. This process proves to be incredibly healing as she works through struggles on the canvas, eventually witnessing the resolution.
