Julia undertakes drawings, prints, sculptures of horses, dogs and other domestic and wild animals, and accepts 2D & 3D Commissions. Her personal statement is below:<\/p>\n
“I have always been fascinated by animals, admire their strength, grace and agility and I like to try and capture their different characters in my work.<\/p>\n
“I have a particular love for horses which has been with me since early childhood. Years of watching, riding and drawing them has given me a good understanding of their behaviour and the way they move.<\/p>\n
“While at college I worked at Bristol Zoo, drawing the animals there, big cats, gibbons and my favourites the gorillas (one of my degree pieces was a life-size concrete silverback). I continue to study a whole range of animals through books, videos, TV documentaries and observation from life.<\/p>\n
“My artistic influences include cave paintings, Edgar Degas and Elizabeth Frink.<\/p>\n
“Whatever the animal I do my best to capture it\u2019s characteristics whilst avoiding any sense of sentimentality”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15007,"template":"","class_list":["post-4688","friends","type-friends","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/equestrianartists.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/friends\/4688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/equestrianartists.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/friends"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/equestrianartists.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/friends"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/equestrianartists.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/equestrianartists.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
