Julie's work can be seen in galleries and her own studio in downtown Lexington. The landscape and the equestrian way of life are some of her favorite subjects to capture. She especially loves to focus on movement and response whether it's a contrast of a moving sky next to the stability of land, or the gestural movement of a rider and horse. |
