Julie Carlisle

ARTIST

Julie is a multi-disciplined artist who works in acrylic paint on canvas and mixed media. Julie finds inspiration in nature where her plein air paintings come to life by using paint to draw directly on the canvas in layers. Without the use of pencil drawing the elements will grow together starting with light colours then moving into higher contrast colour to search for the final creation on canvas. In many instances Julie has also created paintings in an observational and even in a more surreal style. In addition, Julie paints in a more systematic manner where designing the canvas emphasizing shapes and pattern produces highly decorative pieces inspired by the Art Nouveau period.
