About the Artwork

Alaska Series: Dark Woods is part of a group of landscape paintings created by artist Juliana Heyne following a trip to Fairbanks, Alaska in 1987. Describing the short autumn season and the changing of leaves, she notes that this piece captures "that rich color so briefly alive in the austere forest."

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Bremerton School District.

About the Artist

Seattle-based painter Juliana Heyne captures imagery based on her travels near and far. She is inspired by the beauty of aging cities, construction sites, and natural structures in the middle of nowhere. In her own words "No matter the subject matter, there's some kind of beauty at its core that draws me."
