Julienne Beasley

Julienne has long had a passion for art but it was only when she inadvertently attended watercolour classes with her close friend that she began to realize her dream of creating with form and colour. Classes consisted of much hilarity with some disastrous results but eventually she began to understand how to handle the medium.

Enjoyment continues to be high on the list of essential criteria for a successful work. Julienne is often astonished by a simple line or shape that catches her eye. Colour mixing intrigues her and she takes pleasure in having a messy palette that produces original hues of amazing clarity. Progression in her art is important to Julienne and she will eagerly attempt new ideas and techniques - which occasionally work. She has a love of animals which is reflected in much of her art and is a fan of a bit of quirk.

Growing up in Adelaide, Julienne had a delightfully wild childhood and continues to be inspired by her mother, Joan, and by her amazing brother, Michael. The harsh SA environment has produced in Julienne an appreciation of adversity which comes through in her art and accounts for her preference for strong images.
