Whether it’s a flicker of light cast on a face or a speckle of colour tickling another, North Shore artist Julie Fox finds creating art exhilarating. A graduate of Emily Carr, Julie’s early watercolours share meaning through whimsical designs, fine detail, and a harmonic use of colour.

artist statement
It was watercolour that first captured me. Now it’s the dynamism of acrylic painting. I am playing somewhere in the middle – in the colourful area between figurative and abstract. My work is shifting, as I combine the softness of watercolour with the bold strength of acrylics, working toward a loose impressionist style of painting that leaves much to the imagination of the viewer. My love for nature, my passion for our planet is my focus. A sense of whimsy, and a harmonic use of colour will remain constant as I explore this complex world of nature.
