JULIE WOLK | ARTIST
As an artist, I hope to
to inspire connection, ignite curiosity, champion authenticity,
and expand aliveness.
Artist Statement
An artist statement feels like a very pretentious piece of writing to tackle. So I will keep it simple:
I create art because it makes me feel alive, and I want to help you feel alive too.
The hard truth – the rude secret that whispers to you at 3:00 a.m. when you can’t sleep – is that many of us (maybe even you) are not really living with aliveness. We are living distracted. We are numbed out, stressed out, and worn out.
My hope is that something I create within the alchemy of color, texture and luminosity, inspires you to pause…take notice…and awaken. At its best, perhaps one of my works becomes a mirror – connecting you to something inside yourself that feels alive, soul-full and seen.
As an evolving artist after decades in marketing and brand, I work primarily in acrylic, mixed media, watercolor and digital art. Alongside my art practice, I design and facilitate creativity workshops that empower people of all ages and industries to expand their creative intelligence—offering a human-centered counterbalance to our rapidly evolving AI world.
How It Began
As a wildly imaginative child, I dreamed of dancing or coloring my way through life. However, practicality (watered by stern eyebrows from less unamused parents) led me into advertising and an award-winning career in marketing and brand. For years, I helped technology startups discover and tell their stories, all while quietly tending a personal creative fire within the margins of a busy life.​
Plot Twist
Although some people thought that I had completely lost my mind, I seized an opportunity to step away from the corporate world to embrace what I call “Life Chapter Two” — a wholehearted return to art and to helping others expand their creativity.​
Today
Today, I work in acrylic, watercolor, mixed media, and digital art, chasing the alchemy of color, texture, and luminosity. My pieces are a conversation of layers, playful yet resonant, weaving together memory, emotion, and imagination. I hope my work becomes a mirror — connecting people to something inside themselves that feels alive, soul-full and seen.
I also love to create and facilitate creativity workshops and experiences to help people in any field and at any age discover, explore and expand their own creative intelligence to counterbalance our world of artificial intelligence.
I detest inbox clutter. This isn't that.
