Julie Caves

‘I think of myself mostly as a painter of still lifes. I sometimes approach my subject directly and paint roomscapes and objects from observation, but often I focus just on the colour and light separated from the subject, letting the painting develop intuitively. Trusting my hunches comes from the accumulation of memories of learning what has worked, and what hasn’t, the muscle memory of painting, and the shapes of visual thinking.’

We are delighted to have Julie as part of our Contemporary Kent Artists exhibition at The Horsebridge Arts Gallery the 7th - 19th of October 2026.
