About
Julie
Marie Ables grew up in San Francisco with books stuffed in her backpack and pens
always in hand. Julie holds a BFA in Print Media, Letterpress, Paper, and Book
Arts from Memphis College of Art, and a MA & MFA in Print Media,
Letterpress, Paper, and Book Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She
can be found in her studio with her Vandercook (loving named Vlad) and
her various food-named pets or just as equally -- deep in paper pulp, bound up
in books, and covered in clay.
Julie
teaches and lectures in printmaking, letterpress, and book arts in addition to
attending residencies and workshops. She has shown work both stateside and
internationally; from shows at North/South Gallery in Oakland, CA, Marshal Arts
in Memphis, TN, The Overture Center in Madison, WI, and the SRISA Gallery of
Contemporary Art in Florence, Italy.
As an
artist, Julie forms the foundation of her work from what is inwardly
experienced daily, often the mundane; a product of anxiety balanced by ways of
finding control as well as comfort in sound, texture, shape, and repetition.
Drawing on these perceptions, Julie creates introspective works to evoke in the
viewer foreign emotions ranging from physical, emotional, and sensory often
felt by the marginalized population experiencing foreign cognitive actualities.
