Phoenix artist, Julie Gilbert Pollard, paints in oil, watercolor and acrylic in a fluid, painterly manner. Her painting style, while representational, is colored with her own personal concept of reality. “The eye may see as a camera ‘sees’, but the mind’s eye sees an altered, imagined image, what it wants and hopes to see. It’s that illusive image, uniquely mine, along with a heightened sense of ‘realness’ that I try to express in my paintings. This world of ours is often a frightening and mysterious place, but it is filled with scenes and subjects that excite my eye and imagination! The magical allure of the natural world, and my reverence for it, compel me to attempt to capture its essence on canvas or paper.”

Julie is the author of three Best Seller North Light Books, “Watercolor Unleashed”, “Discover Oil Painting” and “Brilliant Color” (oil & acrylic). She currently writes Watercolor Unleashed! The Notebook (self-published “chapter-at-a-time binder-book” – 2009 through 2016, ongoing).

She has given instruction in watercolor, oil and acrylic since 1985 in numerous venues such as La Romita School of Art in Umbria, Italy, Cheap Joe’s Art Workshops, North Carolina, Beach Art Group, Panama City Beach, Florida, Saanich Peninsula Arts Center, Sidney, B.C., Canada, Dillman’s Creative Arts Foundation, Wisconsin and San Diego Watercolor Society, San Diego, CA. Current venues, Arizona and across the U.S.
