JULIE MALONE
Julie Malone was born in Kansas City in 1971. She received a BFA in Studio Art/Painting from Central Missouri State University in 1995 and moved to St. Louis in 1996. She began her career as a digital designer, working within the decorative laminate industry. Her painting and creative drive were impacted in 1999 after the birth of her first child. At that time she moved from the corporate world to pursue her lifelong love of painting, and has since been painting professionally. While earlier trained in the figurative, Julie evolved into the abstract. Her oil paintings are reactionary expressions of humanity and the abundant beauty of our environment. The reflective nature of light and our relationship to color stimulates and syncs enabling her to express them with color and form. She is fascinated with color and how it affects emotions.
