About

Photo by Frank Wiese
In 1998, a visit to the US South West marked the beginning of her deep love for this region. Thereafter followed many study periods in New Mexico, among these an Artist-in-Residency at the Gallery 408 in Carrizozo, NM.
Julia lives near Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her work can be found in private and corporate collections throughout Europe and the United States.
Artist statement
Over the 30+ years that I have been painting, I’ve explored a very wide range of styles. This exploration is fueled by the continuous search for how to best express the world I perceive. Moving between impressionistic form and expressive gesture my work represents extracts of my reality, a reality nurtured by an inner dialog and endless studies of light, color, shape and composition.
