Hi, I’m Julie Spencer
an artist with a love for color, texture, and the expressive power of paint. My creative journey actually started with music—I began playing the violin when I was five. That early connection to rhythm, emotion, and flow continues to influence the way I approach my art. I started painting at eighteen, initially working as an objective figure painter, drawn to the beauty and complexity of the human form. Over the years, my work has become more expressive and intuitive. These days, I paint a mix of florals, figures, and abstract pieces, depending on where inspiration strikes. I work in acrylic and oil, and also love experimenting with oil sticks, charcoal, and pastel—each medium brings its own energy to the canvas.
I studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, and I’ve been fortunate to show my work in New York City, at the Naples Art Institute, and as a juried artist in the show at the Visual Arts Center in Bonita Springs, Florida. At the heart of everything I create is a deep curiosity and joy for the process. Whether it’s a bloom, a figure, or an abstract field of color, I’m always chasing that moment where feeling meets form.
Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here!
