As a child, my three-ring binder full of drawings of horses was a prized possession. To me, horses had a mystical, almost phantom-like quality that I became drawn to from an early age. I became transfixed just seeing one in an open field from the car window. Today, I recognize this mark in all animals as the fingerprint of the infinite imagination of the Creator. In my experience, there is a creative communion that takes place between me and God when painting or in the presence of animals.

With animals as my subjects, I discover great freedom in employing my own imagination as a catalyst for new myth. My paintings pair dramatic images and short narratives to set the stage with a surreal and timeless atmosphere as inspiration for this new myth. I invite the viewer to continue the journey by finding a story in their own imagination.

A painting begins in my mind with a word, a string of words or a clear image that appears like a dream. I am an oil painter.

Soli Deo Gloria...

I really enjoy seeing your $tyle applied through out your work.


I seems that you have mastered it and it now allows you to tell your story.


Please continue...

I like that you are exploring a living mythology through your art.  It is my mission in my work as well. I believe modern humanity has been floundering in the dark for too long, attempting to live without the teaching of myth to guide use.  Look where living without myth has gotten us....

Hello Tracey Clarke,


I enjoyed the tour of your gallery with your different artistic 'language.' 


I believe that the 'Truffle' was my favorite piece.


Sincerely,


Julianne Felton
