| Phoenix artist, Julie Pollard, paints in oil and watercolor in a fluid manner.
Her painting style, while representational, is colored with her own personal concept of reality. “The eye may see what the camera sees, but the mind’s eye sees an altered, imagined
image”. It’s that elusive image that Julie tries to express in her paintings. “The magical allure of the natural world, and my reverence for it, compel me to capture its essence on
canvas or paper”. Her marvelous landscapes are presented with dramatic, vivid colors that bring the viewer into the painting. |
Julie has authored and illustrated numerous articles and books describing her
creative painting and teaching methods. She has given instruction in oil and watercolor since 1985 and currently conducts classes at a number of institutions including Scottsdale Artists' School.
A frequent award winner, Julie’s oils and watercolors have hung in numerous
gallery exhibits as well as private and corporate collections. |
