“Birthday Girl”, Mixed media on canvas 12"x12", Juliette Belmonte

“I feel great joy through the practice of making art as to me it’s a meditation on beauty and the surprising form that it can sometimes take. I paint both from the live model and portraits from the imagination, sometimes combining the two.
I often incorporate mixed media into my oil paintings such as fabrics, found objects, gold leaf, collage papers and organic elements.”

“Ms Nesbit’, Oil on canvas with mixed media elements 12”x16", Juliette Belmonte

“Painting these new ladies (Live models) satisfies a very different part of me. You start with nothing and then after some strokes and color choices, you end up with a unique person. When they are finished they feel like their own unique entity that materialized from a mysterious combination of paint, the music that was in the room, and the mood of day. I look at them and imagine what they are like and what kind of history they may have.”

“Gustave Klimt”, Mixed media on wood panel 12"x16", Juliette Belmonte
