Julie Moore
Julie Moore has been creating her evocative style of art for just shy of a decade. Though she has no formal training in photography, Julie has felt captivated by the visual arts throughout her life. She was first inspired to pick up a camera many years ago while visiting Ireland in the company of a shaman, and she has been photographing the beauty of her world ever since. Perhaps surprisingly, she creates her captivating art primarily with her iPhone, visualizing, creating and processing her images with the camera she carries in her pocket. She also creates some of her images with her Holga, a medium-format film camera. Julie makes many of her prints using the polymer-photogravure process. Drawn to this alternative method of printmaking, she also employs other complimentary techniques during the intaglio printing process, such as chine-collé and à la poupée. About her work, Julie has said: “My images share the way I see the world, its soft tenderness and extravagant beauty, its agonizing loss and exquisite aging. I see the overlooked aspects of life and nature. There is small and precious beauty in the unseen, a part of everyday life that can go missing because it is not prominent, yet has much to teach us.” Julie’s work has been shown in a number of juried exhibitions in various galleries across the country.
