This painting was done in a series of three along with paintings, 'Hidden Truths" and 'Hidden Depths". These paintings are based on my continual exploration of balance. Balance between contrast, layers, and controlled and random line. Balance with softness and dynamism, realism and abstraction, memories or stories.
Inspired by the book, ‘’The Bear and The Nightingale’’ by Katherine Arden, in these paintings I have endeavoured to achieve the cadence of a beautiful fairy tale but one that is darker and more lyrical. I am trying to explore how society can be persuaded through fear or ignorance to act against its own interest so easily: a rather apt tale for our times. It’s a book full of stories of sorcery; folklore and old magic frowned upon by the church. ‘What intrigued me was in creating paintings that balanced ideas between the real and the spiritual world and of hidden depths, beliefs, rituals, customs, memories and hidden truths. Both paintings are atmospheric and enchanting but with a sense of growing forces of dark magic beckoning in the woods - an evocative world of hidden depths between myth and reality.

Presentation
Born in Lancashire, Julie Edwards is based in the UK, where she has been working from her studio at Eagle Works Studios and Gallery since 1991. Since 2020, Julie has been working in a purpose build studio at the bottom of her garden. Julie has been working steadily, progressing from large semi-abstract paintings that often took on an aerial view of both industrial and natural landscape, towards working now in a more sophisticated and personalised semi-abstract format.
Julie introduces herself as a semi-abstract landscape artist whose artwork is very much influenced by the natural environment around her. Paces she visited and experienced become images in her mind and inspiration for a new painting. Capturing the experiences into journals and later on sketches. She describes eventually transferring her inspiration as" an entirely new experience, almost an emotional response.'' where other factors such as literature read, escapism from the goings on around her and the horrors in the world, spirituality and sometimes mythology. Sometimes a painting is created from just being obsessed by drawing with different qualities of line, or looking at the essence of light, or simply using different balances of colour. All of these factors can have an impact on the work back in the studio.
Besides being a painter, Julie Edwards is also a lecturer at the City of Wolverhampton (1994- to date: Visual studies and painting)
