Julie Hawkins

In the footsteps of Mark Rothko and the colour field painters of the 1940's and 50's, Julie Hawkins is a colourist who's artwork envelopes the viewer. The viewer is transformed into a world that radiates
vibrations of hues that evoke innocence, movement and pure joy. The intermingling of pattern and shape and texture dance across the canvas and transform the spaces they are in.

Hawkins' mesmerizing paintings are a result of the stimulation of an intense colour palette that stimulates a positive emotional response. The essence of her collections begin with thematic ideas and are built up with layers of paint. Each of the pieces can work together or separately to trigger different optical effects in a variety of sizes. Finely crafted, these pieces are suitable to embellish corporate or living spaces.

Experience this fine artist's work online and first hand in her studio, or at the JMR Gallery in Bayfield, Paula White Diamond Gallery in Waterloo, and the Roberts Gallery in Toronto.
