Julie Nilsson

Julie Nilsson refers to her work as bold personal expressions. Currently, figurative work has been her predominant interest. as she gives a voice to the too often voiceless women, children and elderly of third world countries where she has traveled extensively, as well as to those in less recognized cultures within our own country. Together with strong social commentary, Julie's paintings are rich in light and color. They are a blend of social statement combined with her own unique artistic expression. As well as her figurative work, a wide range of subjects, including plein aire landscapes, continue to inspire her.
