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.

Thanks for stopping by New Orleans Daily Photo. I have spent a lot of time trying to figure how to photograph trees and bring out their character. Hard to do. I'm still exploring.
You're piece here give me new inspiration and a new dedication to the challenge.
Good work.
Thanks, Steve,
I've spent alot more time as a portrait painter (hence the theme of this blog) and have always struggled with landscape/nature. But producing an image every day makes me take each image less seriously and now I'm really having fun with it - at the moment it's the tree pieces I really look forward to although I don't always have the time to do one. (iPod faces are much quicker!)
