“Golden Jelly Star Swim” by Joanne Julian, 2023, Acrylic and Prismacolor on paper, 30 x 22 inches.

Joanne Julian’s “Nature’s Spirits”

Ever inspired by nature, artist Joanne Julian’s solo exhibition, “Nature’s Spirits,” is a meditation on nature’s miracles, from birds, insects, and botanicals found in the garden to clouds, stars, and nebulae witnessed in the night sky. From her studio in Oxnard, Julian draws on her long career in painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture to create meticulous images of natural forms that merge and dance with spontaneous brushwork in the Japanese Zen “splashed-ink” style. The exhibit includes 40 works made over the last decade, and many of the pieces are available for purchase.

Meet the artist during the premiere party on Saturday, November 9, from 4 PM to 6 PM. Beer, wine, and hors d’oeuvres will be served. Reservations are not required.
