Julie Stirling

Throughout her work, Julie aims to showcase that life has countless shades of meaning and truth, that individual perceptions of the same object or art work can vary with mood, context and background experiences. Building upon her original photography of nature and urban installations, Julie adds collage, painted works, digital painting, silhouettes and shadows to create the desired affect. Transforming the original images to a point where they lose their context and identity , Julie hopes to give them a new context and meaning within the shades of colour and form. Ultimately, providing an inward exploration of transformation.

Each final image can be printed on fine canvas which is sealed and stretched over a frame; or on archival paper, both with Epson long life inks.
