Julie is a narrative figurative painter. Her works range from sole to multi figural views of the humanity. Her works are delicate and sensitive with an aggression of stroke. Currently, she is working on a series thematically representing scenes “On the Edge of Beauty”. The glass is half empty. Romantic scenes are painted with a sensuous aggression. Images that seem to be beautiful are not so from the inside. The Perfect is not so perfect. In each painting she am depicts intimate and inviting views of a woman’s world. Within the figural scenes the figures are distant or an integral part of their environment. Narrative themes of self image and different scenes of womanhood are depicted.
