Introducing Julie Pelaez

---

Through themes of mindfulness and rich with hidden symbolism, Julie's  art cultivates connection while elevating interiors. Each artwork is so much more than a pretty rectangle on the wall. There is a personal narrative, an inspiration, a rallying cry, a universal theme of human experience we can all relate to. Julie works in collections, each with its own overarching message and distinct execution style. She draws upon  her heavy conceptual background gained from a decade-long career as an Advertising Art Director to communicate through different combinations of mediums and materials. From whimsy to philosophical, the topics conveyed cultivate self reflection on the part of the viewer as we all try to become better versions of ourselves and uncover new perspectives.  

Julie has successfully completed commissions around the country for Hospitality and Corporate projects. Pictured here is an installation of paintings on plexiglass, at ERS of Austin. Other installations include Mandalay Bay Convention Center, United Heritage Credit Union Lobby and Longhorn Village Community Center. Images of these installations are on our Customs page.

We are eager to find her next project! Please reach out to Moxie with any questions about our commissions process. 

 "hoMEostasis", with an emphasis on "ME", is a collection encouraging you to source balance, calm and centeredness from within. No matter what may be going on in the world around us, the ability to self-regulate and channel our inner zen is fully within our control and accessible at any time.

Gradations take on the form of calibrations, moving in and out to offset each other in a search for balance. The speckled raw canvas brings an element of earthiness and grounding. Each artwork is wired to hang either vertically or horizontally.

The “Constructs of the Mind” Collection was born out of studies in mindfulness. From theories of meditation, to conscious awareness, each mixed media artwork utilizes layered, dimensional techniques to symbolize different “aha” moments from these life-changing perspectives. 

The moment we can move from victim to empowerment, from defensiveness to openness, we can get out of our own way and move towards inspired action. This "just do it" mentality shift sets off a chain reaction, like opening an internal floodgate towards healing. We are all the gatekeepers to our own healing. It's time to let the doors fly open.

Visually, color gradients symbolize an internal transition – a shift into surrender, which becomes the catalyst for an opening. Old patterns and stories populate the draped paper, falling away as it gives way for the new expansive energy.
