Location: US Web: www.juliewilmore.com Email: hi@juliewilmore.com media: Charcoal, pencil, digital Julie grew up in Michigan hiking and camping, which created a deep bond within her for the natural world. “I seek the space between these real places I spent time in and the fluctuating memories I have of them,” she explains. “My work uses wildlife and nature as the driving force of my semisurreal narrative.”

Her drawings are made with powdered charcoal and carbon pencil. “I literally paint in dry charcoal; this offers me a high level of control over the value, texture and edges. I then work with the carbon pencil and a smudge stick to add details and deep blacks.”

Julie now live in Chicago, but can retreat back to nature through her art.
