The Dyarubbin\/Hawkesbury and the Snowy Monaro regions of New South Wales are indelibly etched in Julz Beresford<\/strong>‘s creative psyche and continue to propel her practice. Born in rural New South Wales, the artist reflects that being outdoors has always been at the heart of her existence.<\/p>\n

An essential part of Beresford\u2019s process is being present in the landscape, observing natural phenomena that then inform her paintings. Working en plein air<\/em>, the artist collects gouache studies and drawings that later become the departure point of her studio-made paintings.<\/p>\n

Beresford\u2019s intent is for the audience to feel engaged with the energy of the landscapes she paints. Her works are both an impression of landscapes and an embodiment of how it actually feels to be there. Her paintings have a sense of intense energy. Painting\u00a0alla prima<\/em> with a vigorous and spirited application, the artist challenges herself to remain in the moment and \u2018solve\u2019 the painting as she goes.<\/p>\n

Julz Beresford joins the Michael Reid Sydney + Berlin stable of artists following a successful exhibiting career at our Northern Beaches gallery.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
