All my work evolves from the human form: I try to communicate that which is physical but also that which is beyond the physical. Why? Because it is my view that the body houses the spirit of us, our soul and then by extension, for me, the existence of our soul begs the question "what is it all about?" as individuals and en mass. I remain fascinated by this question, more than any other it is the focus of my work.
The Drawings: The intention is to express our human energy, beauty and complexity. Line work is very much influenced by Chinese brush strokes.
Colour Works from Wallpapers: These are abstracted from the larger than life drawings of the "Wallpaper Series" which skate in and around the human form. Usually in repetition, the Wallpapers form a matrix for the colour and balance of the final piece. Choice of colour may represent a statement or a question depending where the artist's emotions presently lie.
The focus of the work is representing the human form in fluid bold drawings. Juliet's work is influenced by her traveling years. First in L.A. it was the diversity of art and fusion of colour that inspired. In the Philippines, Juliet admired local artists freedom of expression and often by necessity, their multi media approach. In Hong Kong Juliet was influenced by the simplicity and purity of Chinese brush work and water colours. These influences are also reflected in the abstract backgrounds to Juliet's figures. They represent landscapes of colour: perhaps in conflict, questioning or else cosseting feelings of passive and inner calm.
