JULIE HARRIS
Born in Sydney in 1953, Julie Harris trained in fine art at the National Art School. There she received the school’s Print Prize, before traveling and living in the UK for several years and returning to Australia in 1980.
She won the Adelaide Perry Drawing Prize in 2008, and the Flurieu Art Prize for Landscape in 2011.
Her work explores the textural effects and the automatic techniques of pouring and trailing paint, emphasising the material quality of the medium. She has a disciplined yet relaxed approach and typically links with the Surrealist technique of automatic marks and accidents.
