I’m excited to announce that I have been selected for a three-week Artist Residency at Vermont Studio Center located in Johnson, Vermont. The residency will be March 12, 2023 until April 1, 2023. I look forward to this residency – a place to truly get away to clear one’s head, spark new creative thoughts and ideas. Being in this creative environment with twenty other writers and visual artists helps the creative juices flow. Under these circumstances, its a trigger to try something new such as experiment with new painting mediums or jump into a larger project that requires dedicated time and concentration. After decompressing into this unique environment, there is space to discover where and how I want to grow my art practice or next body of work. I’m grateful to live, work and play in snowy Vermont and explore the scenery. I’m eager to kick off this journey and flow with the adventure. Follow my journey through social media; let’s stay in touch.

Let’s keep in touch online using Instagram, Facebook,YouTube or e-mail. See links below. JulieEnglandArt Facebook and Instagram pages are typically updated once or twice per week.

I am most grateful to Prime Women Media for sharing my story on their YouTube Channel

My hope is that by sharing this story, it helps one person manage through a major change in their life,

I recently read according to the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, “Art-making is a contemplative practice that affects us internally, through our thoughts and emotions, as well as externally, through the creation of object and images that can serve as sources of inspiration…”  Contemplative art may be somewhat divided into two categories: Process and Product. My artwork is a combination of contemplative and descriptive. However, during my daily practice, contemplation rules. I enjoy being in the flow of the process day-to-day. There is often a stepping back to ask “What could I do next? What could I do differently with color, shape, form or line? Is it finished or would one more mark help or hurt?”.
