"Bringing the Museum to You"

By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the second of two 12-piece Exhibitions of works by American contemporary Impressionist painter Julia Patterson (born 1957 in Texarkana, Arkansas).
 

As a native Texan and an Arizona resident for 25 years, Julia's sensibilities are grounded in the American Southwest. The textural attributes of sanded paper and pastel sticks lend themselves to the arid magic of the desert, adobe, earth and boundless sky. Julia wishes to capture those moments that have tripped some artistic trigger within her, and the pure pigments of pastel afford her the freedom to do that.
