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.

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."
