Julie’s practice is primarily concerned with painting. She responds to her experience of the world around her within the realm of gestural abstraction. The image arrives and collapses in layers of paint over time. The work fixates on the relationship between memory and the present moment through the act of painting.
She has been practicing and teaching drawing and painting for 20 years in a wide variety of contexts.She has exhibited extensively within Ireland and abroad including the RHA, Eigse Carlow ,The Irish Cultural Centre and The Terrace Gallery , London. Her work is represented in the OPW State collection as well as many private and corporate collections in Ireland and abroad. She has been showing work with Solomon Fine Art since 2014.
