The Art of Life is a vibrant and deeply personal exhibition by Julie Pickett, an artist who discovered her creative voice later in life through the transformative power of painting. Each piece in this collection serves as both a reflection and celebration of the human journey—marked by resilience, rediscovery, and the beauty of imperfection. Drawing from her own experience of finding healing and purpose through art after a major life change, Julie uses bold colors, expressive forms, and intentional patterns to explore themes of identity, feminine strength, and divine creativity.
What makes The Art of Life unique is its origin in real emotional depth and spiritual awakening. Rather than adhering to a specific style or convention, Pickett’s work is an intuitive response to lived experience—each canvas a declaration of inner liberation and growth. Visitors can expect to encounter artwork that is both visually striking and emotionally resonant, offering a powerful testament to the idea that it is never too late to begin again, and that the act of creation itself can be a sacred form of healing.
Julie Pickett is a self-taught artist who began painting at the age of 50, discovering her creative voice amidst personal adversity. What began as an act of emotional survival quickly evolved into a profound journey of self-discovery, healing, and liberation. Drawing from her lived experiences and the wisdom gained through womanhood, Julie creates bold, expressive works that blend vibrant color, design sensibility, and spiritual reflection.
Her art stands as a celebration of feminine strength, the beauty of imperfection, and the sacred nature of becoming. Each piece is both deeply personal and universally resonant—inviting viewers to explore their own identities and emotions through her intuitive, heartfelt compositions. Through her work, Pickett reminds us that it is never too late to begin again, and that creativity has the power to transform pain into beauty and silence into voice.
