Follow on Google News | Julianne Garvey A Solo Exhibition of Paintings at Richard Boyd Art Gallery May 1-30The public is invited to meet Julie at a reception at Richard Boyd Art Gallery on Saturday, May 7 between the hours of 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. where she will be available to discuss her current series of paintings. The exhibit is open free of charge between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily through May 30, 2016. About Julianne Garvey Julie studied art at The university of Georgia, her first two years of college, later graduating from The College of William and Mary in Virginia. Julie says, "Since graduating, family life and work have taken the majority of my time, but have never dampened my enthusiasm for expressing myself through many different mediums, with my first love being watercolors. From an early age I have always enjoyed whatever art was being taught at whatever grade level I was in at the time. My high school Art Teacher was encouraging and didn't teach a formula of how to do something so much as how to look at something before engaging with it. It seems a natural thing for kids to use their imagination, experiment, and be creative and as artists we were encouraged more than others to keep at it, to do more. That's probably when we lost the fear of criticism, when we experimented to see what would come to life next. I'm not sure if any artist knows why we create art, beyond the simple fact that we do. Of course living in Maine, being surrounded by the constant beauty that abounds here, is my never-ending inspiration. I do know that I love creating art and just wouldn't feel complete if I were not to do so."
