Once Upon a Time 2, Abstract Painting

2019

Artist Comments
A modern abstraction mixing organic and hard-edge surfaces, in soft blues and white and bold black. "Once Upon a Time is a bit whimsical - a story being told," says artist Julie Weaverling. "There is a rich layered history of paint and mark making allowing the viewer to imagine the narrative."

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.
