ABOUT THE ARTIST

JULIANNE GUINEE

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 is represented by the Russell Gallery, the Kildare Gallery and by Gallery 1608, Co. Antrim. She exhibits throughout Ireland as part of group shows and as part of the 194th RHA annual exhibition. Most recently she has been awarded the prestigious Women On Walls commission with University College Cork.
