About Me
- Name: Julia Kay
- Location: United States
Artist, Analyst, Aikidoist, Alexander Technique Teacher-Trainee. Artist: I've been living, working and exhibiting in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost 20 years. My subject matter ranges from portraits of people and animals to almost abstract paintings of plant forms and light. I paint in oil, acrylics, & watercolors, with oil paintsticks and watercolor markers, and with digital media such as pressure-sensitive tablet and Studio Artist software. I draw with anything I can get my hands on - sticks on wet sand and fingers on frosted windows, chunks of wood freshly burnt into charcoal and children's toys such as etch-a-sketch and magna-doodle. I also take landscape, figure, animal and street photographs, have played with printmaking (mostly monoprints) and have dabbled with sculpture in steel, wood, clay and neon.

Finally had time to look at these with the attention they deserve. It's fun to start at the bottom and scroll up!
I think those oil paintings from the 80s are pretty amazing, and darn the Chinese Sharpies for being so toxic... those colors are so vivid! I like the Emerald City one a lot, too.
I remember seeing Peggy's shodan test in DC... it was stellar. Too bad she's not training these days; I could never think of her as anything but a mentor. Meanwhile, I've started my own class on Wednesday evenings. Freidl sensei wants to have the female presence on his teaching staff, so there I am.
