About "Lux"

I painted this from one of my favorite photgraphs that I have taken. I called it Lux as Lux means light in Latin and this painting is all about being illuminated by life. Not only is it very light as in summery with the sunshine highlighting this beautiful little girl from behind but light and life shines from her eyes as well. I want the viewer to not only feel this girls happiness but to also feel happy for seeing it!

About Juliet

Painting is my rush. It whisks me away to a place full of unlimited potential and beauty. I'm unabashedly addicted to beauty and I'm humbly grateful that I've been gifted with a talent to be able to create it through art.

I aim through my paintings to not only capture energy but magnify it, weather that be the powerful energy of a breaking wave or a place of peaceful serenity. Even with my portraits my goal is to capture a certain aura of that person. My subject matter is diverse. It's my method and technique that gives my oil paintings my signature style. This totally works for me as I would hate to be limited and categorised by what I paint as I see beauty in almost everything!

My paintings, if critically dissected, are mostly made up of almost crude asymmetrical shapes done in block colours. Through these shapes I'm able to achieve a sense of depth and movement, shadow and light which then translate into a fluidity leading to detail and the 'big picture'.

My inspiration is life all around me and I particularly like to paint people in an outdoor, natural environment. A condition I have, synaesthesia, also plays a fundamental role in my artistic endeavours.

The artists I admire the most are Edvard Munch, Marc Chagall and Esther Pearl Watson.
