Portfolio - Julia Freake Art
Julia is an Australian Artist based on the Great Ocean Road, Victoria. Julia is a painter and crafter. Her acrylic paintings can be best described as Contemporary Graphic or perhaps Modern Minimalist Art. Julia loves to explore a range of different crafts but more recently has had a focus on macrame and gemstone crystal jewelry.
Julia is inspired by the Surf Coast environment and her family. Family, seascapes, the beach and surf life saving activities are often depicted in her art. Julia loves the mindfulness painting and crafting bring her and often looses herself in the creative process. She uses a smooth texture, minimalist lines and a limited colour palette in her acrylic paintings, giving the paintings an almost graphic feel.
Experimenting and learning new techniques is something Julia enjoys and builds into her processes. Julia is passionate about supporting emotional well-being through creativity and
shares her knowledge and experiences through her business aah art and healing.
"I get excited by the huge array of inspiration around me. There are endless ways to express yourself and as such I don’t like to stick to any one style or medium. Currently my preferred mediums to paint with are oils and acrylics.
And my styles vary dramatically."
"Sculpting is a very tactile form of art allowing creativity to take a 3D form. Although I enjoy working with Clay, my current choice of medium is Paverpol."
"I have a passion for crystal and crystal healing and have combined this passion with arts and crafts to design and make jewellery incorporating crystals."
"One of my favourite passed times is getting creative with the kids. Our tribe includes four amazing children: Billy, Hanna, Ruby and Molly. My daughters all share my love of creativity and enjoy a range of crafts. This gallery is dedicated to their masterpieces."
