Julea Hope Boswell Art

Julea Hope Boswell is a Canadian artist based in Ottawa and Prince Edward Island, with a background in visual art, dance, theatre, marketing, and arts management. She holds an MBA, a BFA in Visual Art, and a Theatre Diploma. Her work has been exhibited across Canada, in New York City, and internationally, and she is a recipient of a City of Ottawa Artist Grant. Julea uses a kinetic, tactile process to capture the energy and emotion of nature, dance, and music in uplifting, movement-filled abstracts. Working primarily with palette knives and rags-and often incorporating fluorescent and metallic paints she blends and erases layers to create vibrant, dynamic compositions. She frequently collaborates with dancers, musicians, and poets, and views art as a powerful force for joy and connection.
