Inspiration:  
Dive into a world where shapes and colors dance together in harmony. This artwork is a playful exploration of texture and geometry, featuring a vibrant palette that invites the viewer to discover hidden details within its layers. The juxtaposition of smooth and rough surfaces creates a delightful tension, drawing the eye from one element to another.

This piece was one of the first collages I created several years ago.  Now is the first time I’ve been willing to part with it! It is composed of painted papers in rich hues of green and lavender as well as neutrals in the form of found papers from a RH catalog.

As I crafted this piece, I let intuition guide my hand, blending various materials to evoke a sense of familiarity and curiosity. The geometric forms are like a puzzle, waiting for you to piece together the story they tell. Each section reveals a different perspective, reminding us of the beauty in diversity.

Perfect for adding a touch of modern flair to any space, this piece not only enriches your surroundings but also sparks conversation. Embrace the vibrancy and let it inspire your own creativity!

Artist Bio

Julie Brown is a New Orleans-based artist whose vibrant acrylic and collage works reflect her unique blend of architectural training and artistic exploration. A graduate of the Tulane University School of Architecture, Julie spent four decades shaping the built environment through her practice in healthcare architecture. However, what started as a hobby during her architectural career has blossomed into a passionate and all-encompassing art practice that she now calls an "addiction."

Her work is characterized by a rich use of bright colors, whimsical inspirations, and a distinct obsession with flowers. Drawing from the dynamic and eclectic spirit of New Orleans, her pieces convey a sense of joy, energy, and the beauty found in everyday life. Julie’s background in architecture influences her compositions, where structure and form blend seamlessly with her playful, imaginative expressions.

Julie Brown’s artwork invites viewers to engage with a world of color and whimsy, while also reflecting a deep appreciation for nature's enduring presence. Through her acrylics and collages, she captures the essence of life's fleeting moments, using flowers as a recurring motif to symbolize both beauty and resilience.

Artistic Process

I’ve loved drawing and painting since I was a child, and practiced architecture for forty years. Towards the end of my career I took up abstract painting. I first thought it looked so easy...it’s not. I felt like the business of architecture and working on a computer for so many years had sapped my creativity, and abstract painting lets me loosen up and relax.

I paint when I’m happy. I paint when I’m in a funk, and it makes me happy. When I’m painting I forget about the present and paint intuitively, not thinking much beyond the brush strokes I just made and the brushstroke to come.

I’ve been studying at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts. Born and raised in NOLA you can’t help but be influenced by the rich culture of architecture, music and food. I hope that this passion of mine comes through in my work, and you enjoy it.❤️

I’ve sold work in student shows and fairs such as the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts, the N.O. Arts Council City Park Arts Market, the Covington Three Rivers Arts Festival as well as many pieces to my supportive circle of family and friends. Now is my opportunity to branch out and bring my happiness to your environment. It’s meant to be uplifting, engaging and to put a smile on your face!
