About Julie Watson

I am a figurative abstract painter from Colorado USA now residing in Brighton UK. I paint memories and narratives based on people, places experiences, and dreams. Some of my work is inspired by folklore. Some is cultural commentary. My work is in private collections in the USA, UK, Italy and New Zealand. I believe art is for everyone and adjust my prices accordingly. Contact me if you want to swap a piece of yours or ask about my 'wish list' as alternative ways of payment.
