Artist Comments
"This piece is an exploration on layers while thinking of the ocean and water," says artist Julie Weaverling. "Ever changing, ever steady, the artwork offers many layers of paint and mark-making suggesting ebb and flow. Fantastic blues bring a universal good feeling."

About the Artist
Julie Weaverling’s abstract paintings are organic yet deliberate. She approaches her work with a well-developed idea, then begins applying paint. Julie experiments with transparent and opaque layers that metaphorically represent the human condition. She focuses on the idea of compartmentalizing: humans separate their work from their secrets, their friends from their traumas, creating many layers to the self. “What is hidden is sometimes more revealing than what is seen,” Julie says. Through the scraping and layering of color, the artist asks the viewer to consider what lies underneath.
