Julie Richards is an abstract impressionist artist recently located in Hamilton, Ontario. A graduate of Design Arts at Georgian College Applied Arts and Technology, my acrylics on canvas demonstrate an emotionally inspired exploration and expression of the energies of life through sounds, thoughts and feelings. My creative process invites the viewer on a journey to explore art through the senses. My work, always stimulated by music, represents empowerment, strength and the many nuances of the human psyche. Energy, emotion and movement provides the viewer with a personal thought or feeling of power and positive energy. My pieces display different and unique feelings to the eye of the beholder, and I invites you create your own reflective narratives when viewing my work. I find inspiration from the strong women I have met in my life and the strength of the one in herself; the love that flows between individuals
Music and dance also play an integral role in my creative process, both as an instigator and collaborator in my pieces. Music genres of techno, trance and electronic and sometimes classical and rock blast through my studio speakers while I works. The melodies, beats and sounds of music help my raw creations as happenings in time, initiated in a moment from a thought or a feeling: an inspiration. Stop by and spend some time on my page to view some of my work. Feel free to comment and contact me for any information. My paintings are emotionally inspired, sometimes from feelings, sometimes from gestures and deeds done in everyday life, and other times an exploration of my music and sound. Have fun drinking in how these paintings make you feel and what you see coming from the canvas. My clay creations are an adventure to "play in clay". Visually, I invite you to Come Play With Me!
