About the Artists:

Julie Hutchings is a Wiradjuri Clarence Valley based artist. She is a full-time artist, winning numerous awards both locally and nationally throughout her career. Julie is a member of Portrait Artists Australia and has been featured in their 2012 book as well as many newspaper publications & articles in Art magazines. Drawing is a major discipline and Julie conducts Life Drawing sessions once a week.

 

"I am predominantly an oil painter. The human figure is one of my main sources of inspiration. I facilitate Life Drawing sessions once a week in Grafton. A strong drawing will form the bones of a good painting therefore most of my time is dedicated to this discipline. My paintings develop from a deep emotional state. Whether from current situations or something from the past. I have a very strong connection to the land & a love of animals. This reflects in my art. I don’t always have a preconceived idea of what I want to paint – I start by drawing in charcoal,.making marks & gestures. I continue to develop the process by drawing & painting & eliminating – that’s when the ideas start to present themselves & a narrative begins to emerge. Social & political issues do influence my work from time to time, however in a subtle way. When I paint, I concentrate only on my own aesthetics & what I want to convey, all the time maintaining the spontaneity & movement to eventually tell a story with energy, expression & emotion."
