A native of Scotland, artist Julie
Snyder studied drawing and
painting at the Glasgow School of Art. The setting itself was
extraordinary and inspiring. Architect Charles Rennie Macintosh
designed the Art School in 1897, combining his unique style of
Scottish tradition with Art Nouveau. Julie Snyder was encouraged
to pursue her art by an artist-mother and a writer-father.
Julie’s artistic career has spanned both sides
of the Atlantic and included several years of residence in
Southern Spain.
Julie Snyder forged her craft as an illustrator in advertising,
publishing
and the motion picture industry, including Warner Bros.
She now lives in Southern California,
where she paints, holds workshops and teaches painting at
the Businessmen’s Art Institute
in Montrose. Julie Snyder is a sought-after artist in the
Southern California figurative art scene. “I paint the
figure, finding my subjects in many walks of life and I bring
them
into the studio
to model. I love to recreate an impressionistic environment
on the canvas that tells a story.”
She paints to tell the stories of everyday
people in their environment. Painting wet on wet with a balance
of loose
and tight brush work,
she uses color and light to create interest and focus. Her
paint quality is expressionistic as she captures the essential
mood
and gestures of her subjects. Julie Snyder also has a growing
number of clients who commission her to paint portraits.
Her intimate portraits are more than the traditional “head
and shoulders” as she unerringly finds the special quality
that makes each individual both unique and multifaceted.
Julie Snyder also finds time to promote the
arts: She served for two years as president of the historic
Businessmen's
Art Institute of Los Angeles.

Artist's Statement:
Painting
is my path to a world where entire stories can be told through
a captured moment in time.
My journey as a painter began at Scotland’s foremost
Glasgow School of Art, an extraordinary and inspiring artistic
environment. After a few years, I spread my wings and traveled
throughout Europe, finally settling in the Balearic Islands
located off the coast of Spain. I arrived in the U.S. in
1984 and spent the next decade working in several artistic
fields
before turning to fine art.
To me, painting is much like poetry, an illusion and a vision.
Instead of words, I use the brush to capture the essential
fragments and facets of an intimate communication between
the viewer and the subject.
My palettes are uniquely combined for each painting to create
a harmony of colors that transcend real life. I love the
moment when chaos and order dance with each other on the
canvas – tight
and loose brushwork, what’s deliberate and what almost
paints itself.
There is a timelessness that I bring to my work that allows
me to easily transform the images of everyday life into
a new reality. I am the passionate and joyful creator of these
compositions
that come back to live in the real world.
