About Juliette:
A love of art has been with me my whole life. However, I have only pursued creating my own art for the past 6 or 7 years.
I became interested in watercolor as a result of learning to do silk painting at a French resort in the Caribbean. Now, I can’t imagine using any other medium. I am attracted to painting animals and often people comment on the animals expressions and their large eyes which are fun to capture. I used to wonder what I wanted to paint and now I am usually full of ideas on what I want to attempt next. I use lots of bright colors to show off the versatility of watercolor. I also have a streak of whimsy that sometimes appears in purple ears or turquoise eye lashes – on animals only.
Painting is one of those evolving mediums whereby you can always try something new. It is both a pleasure and a challenge. Creating art is the art of looking and examining the world – taking the time to really see things.
