Radio Maine Episode #86: Julia Blake

 

Julia Blake’s family and faith have had a profound impact on her art.  She often returns to images of bright red poppies, which represent seasonal rebirth, and trees that represent the female deity.  As a mother of six, Julia also strives to create a consistent and long lasting identity for herself as an artist. She has similarly encouraged her children to go out into the world to find their own paths. While Julia’s family considerations have recently prompted a move back to Utah from New England, she remains a vibrant member of the Portland Art Gallery community.
