Julia Veenstra is a vibrant and impressionistic painter. She strives to capture a moment in time that brings comfort to the viewer. Working as a studio artist, she creates large format paintings that capture the imagination.
Her paintings “draw a viewer in, they make an impression and cause joy”. Each piece is a study of colour, light and shape. Beautiful negative space is as important to Julia as the positive space in her creations. Her strokes are fresh and vigorous. You can sense movement and almost feel the wind!
