Julia Wade Art Exhibition
Julia's Works can be quite spontaneous! But within that organic process, her main focus is on capturing as much atmosphere possible, from the subject matter being worked on, at any one time. Her pictures often strive to express their subjects, beyond the obvious; hopefully, inviting the viewer in, to share and enjoy her sensitive expressions, within the works.
