Julianne Guinee is an oil painter, figurative and landscape based in Buttevant, County Cork. She graduated from the University of Limerick in 2011 with a Bachelor of Education.

Julianne is particularly drawn to imagery and complexities of the human form and works where possible from life, whether hiring models for her studio or taking to the fields.

She works in oils, her work from life informing her practice for her larger pieces completed with the aid of photography. She balances thought provoking paintings of explosive power with gentler nostalgic paintings which celebrate the ordinary miracle, taking you on a journey around many of the different aspects of everyday life. She is known best for her paintings which celebrate the everyday magic of childhood.

Julianne exhibits throughout Ireland as part of group shows and her work was included in the 194th RHA annual exhibition. Most recently she has been awarded the prestigious Women On Walls commission with University College Cork and appeared on television as part of Sky’s Portrait Artist of the Year on which she painted a portrait of the former rugby player and Traitor contestant Joe Marler.
