Julie Lawrence
Contemporary Landscape Painter
I am a wirral based landscape painter with an interest in contemporary Romanticism and the everyday sublime. I make drawings and paintings which respond to transient and incidental moments of light and atmosphere while on a local daily walk. During my walk, I experience the changing light and weather, observing how that reflects the passage of time through the seasons and over the day. I also respond to my own shadow passing through the landscape, considering how that is transformed though memory too.
