The Red Raven Gallery Presents
Paintings by Julie Luke and special guests
Julie Luke is an emerging visionary artist based out of
Tacoma, Washington. She creates whimsical spiritual paintings that evoke her
ideals of being boundless and one with spirit. She uses bold patterning, and
intense contrast to express her distinct works of art. Julie’s works have been
exhibited in galleries and art venues throughout the Pacific Northwest, including
a commission for the private gallery of the Dr.Martens U.S. Headquarters in Portland,
Oregon.
Born on June 18, 1980 in Port Angeles, Washington, Julie
was the eighth of nine children, and formal art culture was not accessible to her as a
child. She began creating time based ecological art at the age of five years old and began to
educate herself in painting when she was fifteen. Julie’s artistic beginning evolved from an innate means
to express her distinctive voice among a repressive environment. Julie states that the world
she would travel to while creating was pure and loving, full of otherworldly
expression and freedom. Her inherent talent to express and create was
influenced by her father, who was a self-taught blue collar artist; Julie’s
father is still her favorite artist and key inspiration to date. Julie never
imagined her art would bring her a life as a professional artist but blissfully
welcomes the many exciting and healing opportunities it brings. She is currently
working on several bodies of work, including ‘The re-calibration of light and dark’.
Please join us Saturday April 6th from 5:30-
