“I found the kimono online from a vendor in Japan. When it
arrived I couldn't wait to paint my model wearing it. Holding
it up to see the woven pattern made me wonder about it's history
and who had worn it before. I tried to capture this sense of
mystery in the painting, especially with the lost and found
edges of the brush work.”

 Julie Snyder studied drawing and painting within the inspiring
halls of the Glasgow School of Art. Her artistic career has
spanned both sides of the Atlantic and included several years
of residence in southern Spain. She forged her craft as an
illustrator in advertising, publishing and the motion picture
industry, including with Warner Bros.
The artist is most at home in her studio. Her work is done
mainly created from life and developed over multiple sittings.
With a focus on physique and performance, athletes and dancers
are subjects frequently paints.
Although direct observation of the model is key to making
a successful painting, Julie Snyder also allows the painting
to develop a life of its own. “It’s that dynamic play of opposites
that add energy to painting — shadow and light, warm and cool
colors, lost and found edges — the literal and imaginative
passages.”
Julie Snyder is an award-winning artist who has been painting
and drawing most of her life. Her work hangs in collections and
galleries across the country. Most recently the National Art
Museum of Sport honored her by selecting her painting of a boxer
“Before the Bell” for inclusion in its 2010 - 2011 collection. |
Artist's Statement:
Painting is my path to a world where stories begin to unfold
through marks made on the canvas.
My journey as a painter began at the Glasgow School of Art,
Scotland’s foremost art academy, an extraordinary and inspiring
artistic environment. After a few years of travelling throughout
Europe, I arrived in the U.S. in 1984 and spent the next decade
working in several artistic fields before turning to fine art.
I am drawn to two main subjects in my work – the subtle beauties
of women and the intensity of athletes. The obvious contrast
is not lost on me; I see it not in terms of conflict but of
complimentary aesthetics. Whether it is perfect physique, dynamic
strength or a simple feminine gesture, it is fascinating and
I translate it into the painted image. This is infinitely inspiring.
Much like poetry captures a few details to bring to mind a scene,
what I paint is composed of swift impressions of colors and forms.
Instead of words, I use the brush to capture the essential fragments
and facets of an intimate communication between the viewer and
the subject. I love the moment when chaos and order dance together
on the canvas – tight and loose brushwork, what’s deliberate
and what almost paints itself. |
