Joules Martin

(American, born 1966)

Artist Joules Martin's paintings show the natural scenery and landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. She applies thick layers of paint on canvas using non-traditional objects, such as chopsticks, hair picks, meat forks, and more. She notes, "The direction of the wind, the flow of the water, the rhythm of light pattern through the tree limbs are some of the elements I think of as I paint the landscape... I build a bridge between what a place looks like and how it feels to be there."

Martin earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Visual Communications at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Northwestern Washington.
