The new visual voice presents something more complex, more nuanced, and more imperfect, while the emotion, expression, and experimentation reflect the inhumanity of today’s world. These transformed portraits of “power”, along with other related collage pieces, are how I have dealt with these crazy times we find ourselves in. https://juliemarkfield.com/Warrior-Man Sat, 13 Sep

https://juliemarkfield.com/red-text-endless-possibilities-of-creation-i-strive I find joy in the endless possibilities of creation. I strive to create emotional, lively, accessible pieces that are spontaneous, random, and highly textured.&nbsp; I explore my voice through accessing personal energy with ambidextrous mark-making.&nbsp; Excited by the unexpected and motivated by the what-ifs. As I activate the surface with marks and washes of acrylic, my intuitive process begins.&nbsp; I have no plan of how the piece will unfold as I block out the structure subconsciously.&nbsp; My materials are varied and repurposed.&nbsp; Random cutting of paper and canvas scraps find their way onto the canvas. https://juliemarkfield.com/laugh-out-loud Fri, 13 Jan 2023 00:50:17 +0000 Julie Markfield https://juliemarkfield.com/laugh-out-loud Laugh Out Loud 94 x 72 <img width="2489" height="3251" width_o="2489" height_o="3251" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8a5e29d74f933b1942b0886119233fc690afbff021307eab72fb50e47d611a2/IMG_8708.jpg" data-mid="238224509" border="0" data-scale="66" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e8a5e29d74f933b1942b0886119233fc690afbff021307eab72fb50e47d611a2/IMG_8708.jpg" /> https://juliemarkfield.com/Dinner-Party-slideshow Mon, 15 Sep 2025 16:04:56 +0000 Julie Markfield https://juliemarkfield.com/Dinner-Party-slideshow Dinner Party90 x 68 <img width="1215" height="1637" width_o="1215" height_o="1637" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bfb8b601f8d00fe6f12b18a5ce2113ac715cc2930dde11a27ba6fbefb4b40c23/Dinner-Party-90-x-68-OK-to-crop-to-botton.jpeg" data-mid="238242941" border="0" data-scale="97" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bfb8b601f8d00fe6f12b18a5ce2113ac715cc2930dde11a27ba6fbefb4b40c23/Dinner-Party-90-x-68-OK-to-crop-to-botton.jpeg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/489fad1423636792a381b42d75f21184afd6db705acead3e56263b7cf4560673/1.-Dinner-Party.jpeg" data-mid="238242942" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/489fad1423636792a381b42d75f21184afd6db705acead3e56263b7cf4560673/1.-Dinner-Party.jpeg" /><img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/300656a5b57396f27f08db270ff5d9431352034d9a07fadfc9ec4a5fc6c8c182/2.-Dinner-Party.jpeg" data-mid="238242943" border="0" data-scale="94" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/300656a5b57396f27f08db270ff5d9431352034d9a07fadfc9ec4a5fc6c8c182/2.-Dinner-Party.jpeg" /><img width="1290" height="1685" width_o="1290" height_o="1685" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0eb3ca5a902ad71ff0df6c2197d1b7ff2a86f40d4e70ff48c28ce8f23975c744/3.-Dinner-Party.jpeg" data-mid="238242944" border="0" data-scale="96" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0eb3ca5a902ad71ff0df6c2197d1b7ff2a86f40d4e70ff48c28ce8f23975c744/3.-Dinner-Party.jpeg" />Process (Dinner Party) https://juliemarkfield.com/trapped Wed, 18 Jan 2023 23:54:28 +0000 Julie Markfield https://juliemarkfield.com/trapped Trapped in Our Imagination 39x42 <img width="1290" height="1163" width_o="1290" height_o="1163" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6123921fc5760e2b94789f2080cd91b8cf7de6d27d8dbc6add84eb809e948121/Replace-with-existing.jpeg" data-mid="238192800" border="0" data-scale="88" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6123921fc5760e2b94789f2080cd91b8cf7de6d27d8dbc6add84eb809e948121/Replace-with-existing.jpeg" /> https://juliemarkfield.com/red-text-i-can-only-be-myself Sat, 14 Jan 2023 00:11:12 +0000 Julie Markfield https://juliemarkfield.com/red-text-i-can-only-be-myself I can only be myself.&nbsp; The self that sees the world in shapes, sounds, and color.&nbsp; The self that feels with heart, soul, emotion, and humor which is only mine.
