Eventide II_Oil on Canvas
Julie Hodge is exhibiting a selection of new oil paintings at the Redwood Arts Association in Eureka from July 15 through August 12, 2024. The RAA is located at 603 F Street, Eureka, CA, 95501 and Hours are Wednesday – Sunday 12pm – 5pm. Julie’s artwork will be in Gallery 3 and she will be present for Arts Alive! on August 3rd to greet visitors.
“The fluid merger of Art and Music is a major inspiration for my work – what excites me,” Julie explains. “The gestural quality of paint changes constantly to inform the next color or the next brushstroke, as I continue to explore the experience of form in space. My goal is to synthesize color with rhythms of sound and forms. I am excited by the movements of the land, the sea, and the sky – and the stresses and balance between color values and pictorial depth. I invite the viewer to enter this new space, experience and reflect on how they see and are moved by its existence.”
A resident in Eureka, California, Julie received her BA in Fine and Applied Art from the University of Oregon and her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She has shown her work in over a dozen solo shows and over 40 group shows and in California, Oregon, Rhode Island, as well as London, Calgary and Budapest.
