Julie Gilbert Pollard

Biography

Julie Gilbert Pollard paints in oil and watercolor in a fluid, painterly manner. Her painting style, while representational, is colored with her own personal concept of reality. “It’s an elusive image, along with a heightened sense of ‘realness’, that I try to express in my paintings. This amazing world of ours is often a mysterious, sometimes frightening, place, but filled with scenes and subjects that excite my eye and imagination! The magical allure of the natural world, and my reverence for it, compel me to attempt to capture its essence on canvas or paper.”

Artist, author, and illustrator of many books, articles, and videos, she holds signature membership in several societies. Her oils and watercolors have hung in numerous galleries and juried exhibits. Pollard has given instruction in watercolor and oil since 1985 in numerous venues in the US and abroad.
