JULIE HIMEL
Julie Himel’s vivid paintings push the genre of landscape into dreamlike abstractions. Exploring ideas of space and encounter, her paintings presents opportunities to step into portraits of natural spaces. Himel uses bold, active brushstrokes and generous application of brightly saturated layers of paint to create richly textural surfaces.
