Julie Marriott

Acrylic on Paper, 18 x 24 inches

"This collection celebrates the joyful abundance of the garden through birds, flowers, and fruit. Painted from a blend of gathered still-life objects and my imagination, these works reflect my love for lush florals and chinoiserie. I also leaned into my passion for distressed surfaces and patina, challenging myself to paint with looser brushstrokes and scraped-on layers of color. As I released the need for precision, I discovered a richer sense of humanity and emotional depth in those “imperfect” marks, in the same way a scratched antique table or chipped ceramic vase hints at the people who used and loved it. And over time these paintings too developed their own history—layered and full of life. My hope is that these works offer a glimpse of the beauty found in imperfection and the joy that comes from welcoming nature into our homes. "
