Hi, I’m Juliann

When I remember a deeply spectacular view there are auras of emotion veiled over the visual recall. The atmosphere becomes tangible and solid evidence mixes with what we can only feel in a dance that pushes and pulls each other around in gorgeous ways. There are wiggly, winding threads that bind me to the landscapes, me to you, and us to the ones who came before. My art is an attempt to visually represent this swirling joyous celebration of the landscapes we call home and a love letter to my brain that remembers through a lens of hope and light.

Artist trivia 

Favorite Hobbies: (other than painting and pottery) hiking but in a slow let’s take pictures of all the moss kind of way, gardening, cooking and baking, camping, maximalist colorful interior design, reading nonfiction about current hyperfixations or artist hippy woo woo stuff or feel-good contemporary romances, watching cheesy rom coms and nostalgic tv shows, snuggling my cat Juniper and dog Zapp, planning itineraries and touring loved ones around Washington 

Favorite colors- sap green, fluorescent coralish pink, mustard yellow, pale lime, a juicy veridian teal, really bright cobalt blue, vermillion red

Favorite music: sob rock, post-emo indie rock, feel-good indie pop rock, indie folk and twang, whatever Spotify deems “goblincore”, anything that belongs in a film by Nora Ephron or Greta Gerwig or Wes Anderson, cinematic ambient instrumentals, synth and groove instrumentals, chill wave, Japanese city pop, cozy jazz that’s not too chaotic but not too elevator musac, funk and retro RnB, Motown soul, Americana, bluegrass, contemporary dad rock, and of course my husband’s music
