Another favorite artist from the Armory Show - Julie Speed.
"Speed fearlessly mixes memories of the Old Master paintings she loves with images from fairy tales, poetry, trash novels, thrift shops, Baroque prints, newspaper photographs, and Persian and Indian miniatures, blending them together with everyday experiences and fantasies. The results of such wide and deep excavations inevitably address the Collective Unconscious so dear to Carl Jung and James Joyce." from JULIE SPEED, ICONOCLAST by Barbara Rose
In Julie's words: "I keep hours just like a real job, only longer, and in my spare time I read books, drink tequila, garden, and drive around West Texas.”
