Julie Harvey

Julie Harvey is a visual artist from Franklin, Tennessee. Her images are abstracted dream-like visuals that come from the quiet and dark places one might expect, but they are also quite approachable at the same time. The paintings are   usually on large canvases, varying in size up to as large as60” x 60”.

The subjects are deconstructed, distorted versions of objects or organic bodies, but sometimes they are less literal, leaving the door open to interpretation. Her goal in each painting is to ignite some kind of personal reaction that relates to others in some way, so she usually keeps any kind of psychology or concept about the work to herself and lets the viewer decide on the meaning. Brushes are used for soft areas, blended colors, and transparent washes; trowels layer on the large patches of color and texture; and knives do the digging, tearing, and scratching-through that make up the grit you will find in her work. She has a large number of finished pieces available for viewing via email or the web for any prospective buyers or anyone interested in showing her work. Julie can be contacted by clicking here.
