Julie Gifford
My ideas are inspired by the natural world, particularly birds and marine life. I’m also interested in rendering everyday objects for still life that might be laying around; my collections of ‘things’ which have personal meaning to me, studio tables and tools, fruit, a bowl or various objects that prompt exploration.
My original idea at the start of a painting invariably evolves as the painting progresses. I find it exciting to push and edit; create changes and incorporate something unexpected. Hopefully, these edits keep the imagery fresh and inspiring for the viewer as well
