Urban: A book exploring Pembroke Dock During Lockdown
"For over 30 years Julie has painted natural landscapes. She puts her life-long dedication to the natural world down to her upbringing in Warrington. For years she lived on an estate larger than most towns, where ranks of red brick houses marched to the horizon and the only concessions to nature were a grimy park and scraps of wasteland. Completely untutored, she painted her way out of her urban trap, using memories of occasional trips to the countryside as inspiration and plaster board found in skips as canvases"
"Influenced by the beauty of the Pembrokeshire Coast, Julie Christine Gannon presents a series of paintings reflecting her feelings of beauty, love and warmth for the place and the people residing in it"
Artist in Residence at Oriel Q, April - October 2018
During her residency at Oriel Q, Narberth, Julie painted 31 paintings on the theme of "Freshwater West" which were then exhibited at the Pembroke Dock Gallery during August 2018.
