Hues of blue (2009) Painting by Tricia Julian

I am Tricia Julian. I was born in Cape Town and am proudly South African.  

I am a multi-disciplinary artist. I have been creating in some form or another for as long as I can remember (performing arts, music, drawing, goldsmithing, interior decorating, beading, special paint effects, speciality quilting and soft furnishings, water-colours, photography, oils, acrylics, mixed media, etchings, property design, and high end home makeovers - I've done them all!)

I draw from all my different experiences and education to create in the present, in the medium of my choice. As an artist, I am continually evolving and growing and communicating through whichever art form best conveys my ideas and concepts.

I love doing large canvases of abstract forms and bold colours, but also enjoy working on super-realism stills. I feel that if I were to only create the same thing over and over, do one type of subject matter, it would prevent my growth and expansion, so I explore all the time.

I tend to create at the edge of my comfort zone, so that I'm always pushing myself into new directions and never settling into a comfortable rut. I use what I've learned or discovered for myself in one discipline to expand and create differently in the others. I think I feel the most free when there is motion, colour and light in my works - it's who I am.

I am a married mother of two and am always busy. Luckily, I have a loving husband who supports me in whatever I do. I travel quite a bit and draw on my changing environments and experiences to continuously be inspired. I view my environment and life with great curiosity and marvel at even the little things. Looking, discovering and realising something new, brings me great pleasure.

My purpose in selling my creations is to bring joy and pleasure to the new owners. I also use it to fund humanitarian and philanthropic projects.

My artwork graces residences and corporate offices in South Africa, Israel, UK and the United States.

I travel between and work from both my SA and UK studios.

Enjoy looking through my art works and please comment or enquire, without any obligations-I'd love to hear from you. I have a large number of pieces that are not on this website, but can be found on my person website(s). If there is anything you need or want, feel free to visit my Guestbook or email me directly. Thank you for your time.
