Julie Ann Roberts - These Old Shoes 25th/27th August 2007 10am-6pm Julie usually presents semi-representational and abstract paintings exploring subjects such as landscape, aerial views and microscopic images. Inspired by living and working in an old cobbler’s, Julie’s first installation focuses on the theme of memory and history of place. Her casts of shoes, (the shoes kindly donated by the local community), use of the old workbench (the original bench used by Dennis Edwards) and sound, explore the nature of the place and the memories it evokes. Julie has exhibited nationally and internationally. She was Artist in Residence at The Tricycle Gallery in London for four years, worked in India for two years and is currently working from The Last Gallery Studio. Julie also curates The Last Gallery exhibition programme, works in adult education in Carmarthen and provides a series of art weekends and painting days from The Last Gallery.
