Her work suggests an affinity with British painter Lucien Freud. Julie Shelton Smith appears to scrutinize her subject matter deeply and then has that “Freudian” ability to render the hard truths of what she has taken in. Her portraits are intense and raw.
Julie Shelton Smith is a guest instructor in August at Telluride’s Ah Haa School for the Arts, teaching “Painting Portraits,” Wednesday – Friday, August 3 – August 5, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Julie is now working on a project she calls “100 Women Over the Age of 50 Who like Who They Are Becoming. Sixty of those images will be featured in the Daniel Tucker Gallery at Ah Haa as part of October’s “Art of Being A Woman Month.”
Julie Shelton Smith has taught art – painting, drawing, photography and computer graphics – and exhibited widely throughout the New England area since 1973. She lives in Newport, RI and Minneapolis, MN.
