All Together Now Artwork

Julie Martin is a contemporary artist living in Northeast Ohio drawn to portraiture and figurative subjects depicting mystery, emotion and attitude. With a background in graphic design, the Denver, Colorado born artist also pursued a passion of painting. The process of rearranging slices of realistic images pushes boundaries to create new intriguing abstract artworks. "I take the rearranged slices printed or digital, and create from that as reference. I do not paint, then cut up the canvas." The definition of juxtaposition - The act or an instance of placing two or more things side by side often to compare or contrast or to create an interesting effect. "I’m inspired by the way the slices come together and are transformed into a new visual painted by my imagination.” With a defined fragmented style, she’s created something compelling that is her own.
