Artist Statement
American artist Julia Purdy is an intuitive abstract artist working in the SoWa Art + Design district in the South End of Boston, Massachusetts. Her paintings originate in intuition - she draws her inspiration from images and compositions that she experiences in a meditative state well before engaging with the canvas. She sees a picture of the finished artwork - the color, composition, and other elements of a painting before she picks up a paintbrush.
Her paintings explore ideas related to the human condition - our connection to each other as well as our connection to the environment. White is an important color in her work. It represents white light - the positive light, love, hope, peace and spirit within us.
