Neptune’s Arm, Herne Bay, Kent UK Photograph

JulieAnn is an exciting new artist based in the UK. She is self-taught and feels this helps free her to learn by experimentation and failure. She feels most at home when outdoors amongst nature and with her camera never far from her side, she seeks to capture the constantly changing movement of light and shadow, the wind and the weather. The ephemeral nature of all things is what she seeks in all her work, be it the fleeting emotion on a face, to an impermanent raindrop clinging to a tulip leaf. “As an artist, my eye is drawn to the slightly hidden and obscure. I enjoy the intimacy of getting close to my subjects. You’ll often find me laying on the ground or twisting myself into positions to get a unique view. In my abstract work, I like to take a picture, create something new and then manipulate it to achieve a sophisticated abstract form. I would like my viewers to be as enchanted as I am by our mysterious and magical world.”
