Hello, my name is Julianne Richards.

   I am an artist/writer/painter/musician/songwriter-my "job" habeen primarily a songwriter, and I do have records for sale. However, I have been painting for a while now. I now paint daily, and have created a studio in my NYC apartment where there is nothing but PAINTING. From sketches of ideas, to the canvases where those very "ideas" have come to their fruition- I now paint to-live-to-live-to- paint.

     So, here is a collection of some of my latest paintings, as well as some of my mixed media work: pastel and charcoal...2006 was one of those years of massive upheavel...but with reflection, and finally, understanding and learning. 

UPDATE:
  The year 2007 has started off with the fury of creativity, and painting has become a daily, hourly, central focus in my creation of Art. I hope to bring forth my best work thus far, and I am up for challenge. Thank you to everyone who has supported me, purchased my art, and given words of encouragment. It shows, and I will respond in the making of new and focused paintings.                                                                                                                                                                          
Warm Regards,
