Now that the El Rito Studio Tour has come and gone, I am working on a new series of paintings.  They are based on a reading of William Blake's Tyger, Tyger, and use text as a textural and linear element in the painting.

Now that the El Rito Studio Tour has come and gone, I am having a good time playing in my studio.  These paintings were inspired by a reading of William Blake’s poem, Tyger, Tyger, and use text as a textural and linear element.  Both paintings are acrylic on Claybord panel, and measure 12″ x 12″.

About Julie Wagner

I was born in Wisconsin, and grew up on the east coast, wandering the woods, collecting leaves, bones, and bugs. After earning a BA from Oberlin College, studying sculpture at the Brooklyn Museum School, and receiving an MFA in sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design, I moved to a rural town in northern New Mexico where I live with my blacksmith husband, and a long series of dogs and cats. My work is based on the natural environment where I live, maps, scientific diagrams and microscopic images. My work is in public and private collections throughout the United States and Europe.
