Julia Pinkham Artist
Julia Pinkham has been self-employed as an artist since 1979. Her work has been strongly influenced by her fascination with the natural world and organic forms.
Her current paintings, done with acrylic and mixed media on both canvas and paper reflect her ongoing interest in both The Surrealist's "automatic painting" and the gestural qualities of the Abstract Expressionist movements in American art.
