Julie Chapman

My imagery is a contemporary take on the wildlife, horses, and rodeo of the modern American west, in a “disrupted realism” style. These paintings are a response to the fragmented nature of our current environment (social, political, and natural), and they are meant to inspire questions. My art is featured in galleries, museum shows, and collections throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia. In 2024, a painting of mine won second place in The Almenara Art Prize international competition. Magazines including Southwest Art, Big Sky Journal, and Western Art & Architecture have covered my work.
