Julia Soderholm is a painter and art educator. Her work explores themes of perception and presence in nature through abstraction. Colours, shapes, and mark-making serve as a lexicon of experience that represent memories of place. Each painting expresses her felt entanglement with the landscape, re-examining the observable world with fresh eyes.
‘The guiding question of my practice is how the process of abstraction creates estrangement and enchantment towards the natural world, and whether that can foster pathways to greater care and connection to place.’
Julia is based on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples, also known as Vancouver, British Columbia.
