Visit Julie King in her Maple Bay Studio. www.cowichanartisans.com/tour-map Julies bright,sunny,spacious studio is filled with the colours of nature. The abstracted compositions of Julie’s work is the way she captures the feeling of moving through the landscape, noticing how it changes with each step; the flicker of light on individual leaves; a tree trunk growing sideways from years of withstanding strong winds; tiny traces of mist beginning to form as the temperature cools. I often include compositional elements that hint at paths or streams, helping to lead the eye into the painting and creating a sense of depth. @juliekingartist @cowichan_artisans @bev.robertson.art @studiogart.ca @bluewave.printmakers @hayesglassdesigns @margitnellemann @catherinefraserart @liveedgedesign @studio1867design @roundwomanstudio @cathi.jefferson @dianadurrandart @trembling_aspen_studio @cowichanregionalvisitorcentre @creartful_dodger @studio553.ca taken in Maple Bay, British Columbia by @cowichan_artisans
