Collection: Julie Nighswonger

Julie’s art exemplifies life in the West in a way that captures the beauty of her surroundings. In a style that she describes as impressionistic realism, Julie captures moments that are all too often taken for granted.

Her work explores nature, animals, and the West. “Certain things catch my eye,” Julie says. “It’s the crisp early morning light, the warm glow of the evening, or the way the light dances off of a horse’s mane.”

In her work, she strives to document and share the uniqueness of the Western landscape and its cowboy lifestyle. Speaking on her art, Julie says, “Whether I am working in oil or graphite, my vision is to touch a place in the viewer’s world, in their life, and just maybe in their heart.”
