Artist Statement:
My work focuses on tranlating
the New Mexico landscape into
abstract forms, and with my
figurative paintings, finding
my own spiritual place in the
vastness of the desert.
My painting process is based
on pure intuition. The work
is bold, edgy and dynamic,
integrating form, line and
color. It is ...

| Your Personal Biography |
Julie Schumer was born in Los Angeles, California in 1954. She attended UCLA and went on to law school. She has been a practicing attorney for the past 29 years.
Schumer began painting at age 5 and continued through high school. Once in college her practical nature asserted itself and she became a lawyer instead of an artist. In the following years Schumer collected art, wishing all the while she had painted what she collected. Finally, in 2000, she reconnected with an old friend, artist James Koskinas. He sensed her long suppressed desire to create art, brought her several pieces of wood, paint and brushes and said, "Paint." Schumer hasn't stopped painting since. She and Koskinas joined forces and moved to New Mexico in 2002. They paint companionably in their Lamy studio, a modern day Krasner and Pollack.
Since reengaging with her art, Schumer has studied at the College of Arts and Crafts in the Bay Area and with artists Robert Burridge, Ed Gilliam and Mira White. Her paintings immediately resonated with viewers as her work began to be collected from the start. Her work has been exhibited across the United States and most recently in Europe.
Schumer paints in the tradition of post-modern expressionism. Rather than beginning with a fixed idea, Schumer starts first by introducing color, shapes and line and responding to their development. She moves images around by sanding, scumbling, rearranging and adding and the painting begins to paint itself. |
