Biography
Julie Quick has been painting professionally as an artist for nearly a decade and is from Lexington, Kentucky. She specializes in the pastel medium. Her work has been recognized multiple times internationally and has received numerous awards, especially for her plein air work. Her work has been exhibited at Fine Art Editions in several shows.
Julie finds her inspiration through observation of daily life and travels. Her subject matter includes equine, landscapes, cityscapes, and florals. Her expressive and bold mark-making responds to what she sees and feels as she paints. She is especially drawn to figurative movement and the emotive response between horse and rider, or the movement of sky against ground or sea. Sometimes she will challenge her perceptions by painting intuitively and from muscle memory, resulting in loose and expressive work.
