Julie Watson
painter
Julie Watson is an American artist currently living in Brighton. Born in Wyoming, she grew up in the southwest of America and spent family holidays in northern Mexico. Her works convey archetypal messages that capture the mystical and magical world of inner subjectivity of people, places, and objects. The inner life world of her narrative art becomes a living invitation to enter the spiritual-realism of the physical and non-physical.
