Julie Rees

I am a Brisbane-based visual research artist influenced by real life circumstances. I use a variety of media such as installation, mixed media, drawing, printmaking, photography, digital art, and video, although, the use of a particular medium will depend on the subject matter. The work I create can develop from personal or collective experiences allowing the audience to view situations that perhaps they have not personally encountered.

Starting my art practice in 2003, I made the shift to a professional artist in 2009. Since then, I have completed a Doctor of Visual Arts at Griffith University, Brisbane. I have exhibited both nationally and internationally, published research papers, recipient of grants, and achieved recognition as an associate editor for various humanity journals.

2015 - Doctor of Visual Arts, Queensland College of Art, Griffith University, Brisbane.
2009 - Bachelor of Fine Arts Honours First Class, Queensland College of Art, Griffith University, Brisbane.
2005 - Diploma of Visual Arts, North Point Institution, Brisbane.
