In The Clouds by Julie Friedman
Julie Friedman

Julie Friedman is a nationally recognized artist who began her career in oil painting and received a BFA at the Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University. She went on to study with internationally renowned colorist Wolf Kahn, who introduced Julie to her remarkable visual approach to color.

Primarily considered a colorist, Julie is a master of creating abstracted landscapes with vivid and interwoven unique color strategies. Her strong painterly style has been influenced by study with the American figurative painter Leon Golub (1922-2004), who was a pioneer in the commentary of mass media and political unrest in the early 20th century. Often creating powerful images of social relevance, Leon Golub’s unique style produced evocative images that are reminiscent in Julie’s work. She is more interested in making visual statements with her art than re-creating a place in a more representational way.

Julie is a signature member of the Pastel Society of America (PSA). She is the recipient of many national awards and is regularly requested as a judge at both local and national venues. 

Her career in exhibitions spans many years and includes museums, galleries, and art organizations. In 2013, Julie was invited to exhibit at Drumthwacket, the Governor’s Mansion in Princeton, New Jersey, after being selected as one of twelve artists in the state to represent the New Jersey landscape. 

Julie was awarded “Outstanding Professional in the Arts” by the Arts Council of Morris County in 2012.
