JULIE SNIDLE

For me, creating art has been a favorite pastime since childhood. Careers as an elementary school teacher and a corporate training administrator didn’t satisfy my creative urges. I relied on library books and art materials to teach myself about drawing and painting. Later, as a stay-at-home mom in my early 40s, I took local art classes and attended national art retreats whenever possible. My work was primarily water based mediaacrylic, watercolor, collage. In 2004, I took an encaustic* workshop which was so fascinating I studied it further in San Francisco in 2006 and began teaching the medium in 2011. I work primarily with wax-based paints in a process that is intuitive rather than pre-planned. As I build up layers and scrape back through them, I enjoy finding a balance between complexity and calm. My work is influenced by the muted color palette and organic lines and shapes found in the natural world. As a full-time artist, I paint and teach oil painting and encaustic workshops nationwide and offer private workshops in my home studio in Fairhope, AL. I work as an Artist/Instructor for R&F Handmade Paints based in New York and as an Ambassador for Ampersand Art Panels based in Texas. My work has received numerous awards and can be found in private collections and public spaces throughout the United States. I am represented by Kolman & Reeb Gallery in Minneapolis, my hometown. I also have paintings at Dauphin Island Gallery.
