Fine Art Magazine September Edition

Famously Julie Ann is also fascinated by water and what lies beneath the surface, and she has recently been inspired by the coast as well as the lakes and mountains. She says: “The sea is like space and I am fascinated with exploring the life and light of this amazing dimension. From the flashing, fizzing dynamics of a spinning shoal of fish spiralling in shafts of sunlight to static grace and drama of a shipwreck, these underwater scenes present an unmissable artistic challenge as I aim to capture this ever-changing medium.” “Capturing the scenery and drenching it in gloriously moody light is both a challenge and a joy” she says. “The weather is fascinating too, particularly the unpredictability of storms. Life’s storms come and go of course - there is maybe always one just beyond the horizon and the ambiguity of whether the storm is just arriving or leaving in these paintings is intentional. But I hope that what is not ambiguous is the fact that there is always relief and light in dark moments.” REACH FOR ME III, Original on Box Canvas, 24” x 24” 31 JULIE ANN SCOTT ARTIST FEATURE
