Biography[edit]

Education & Personal Life[edit]

Julie Hedrick was born in 1958 in Toronto, Canada. Her father is Robert Hedrick, a well-known Canada based artist.[6][7]

Hedrick grew up in a household where there was a lot of talk about art and literature, due to this she started her practice at a young age. At 16 she apprenticed under Painters 11 Group with two Canadian artists including, Joyce Devlin, who is a big influence in Hedrick's work.[7][6] Here, Hedrick also started experimenting with various mediums including video.[7]

She studied at the Central Technical School of Art in Toronto and continued her education at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, from 1977-1979, where she was part of the Graduate Painting Studio Program.[1][8]

After finishing school she returned to Toronto where she divided her time [7]

In 1983, Hedrick moved to New York after becoming engaged to Peter Wetzler, a musician and composer.[5][6] The two met in Toronto and have done many collaborations ever since. [1][7]

Hedrick became interested in the healing arts and in 1984 she moved back to Toronto and studied Anatomy and Physiology in Sutherland Chan Institute in Toronto. In 1986 she studied Sound and Human Tuning at the Polarity Institutes. She received her therapist license after moving back into New York City's East Village with her husband.[2][7][8]

In 1985 Hedrick and Wetzler found found an abandoned church that was on sale and bought it soon after. They lived in New York city but went back to Kingston as often as they could to work on the property. [7]

In 1991, Julie Hedrick moved to the church to live there full-time with her two children. Her new home was immense and gave Hedrick a lot of room to work on her artwork.[6][7]

The family would often hold events and used their home as a performance and community space. [7]

In 2011, Hedrick and Wetzler sold the church part of their property and kept the chapel to themselves. After their kids left home, they began a Bed and Breakfast named Church des Artistes.[7]

Julie Hedrick received her American citizenship in 2017. Julie Hedrick currently lives and works in Kingston, New York. [9]

Art & Career[edit]

Julie Hedrick's paintings look raw and gestural.[1] Her large work demonstrates a love of color and atmospheric painting that seems to be influenced by the Hudson River School paintings and the infinite space, full of color and texture [10] reflects the influences of the Hudson River. [7][11] In a 2014 interview, Hedrick mentions how her walks along the river every morning influence and giver energy to her work. [12]

In 1985 Hedrick had her one- woman show at Leo Kamen Gallery in Toronto. [7]

She was signed by Nohra Haime Gallery in 1997 and has been represented by her ever since.[7]

In 2000 her show "Depth Perception," Hedrick exhibits paintings that resembled J. M. W. Turner reflecting a hazy space alluding to a natural occurrence. [11]

In 2008, Julie Hedrick exhibited paintings she had been working on for two years. The exhibition was called "Awakening" and it was made up light yellow, blue and green paintings, and one singular painting that was a light rose color.[13] When it was exhibited in 2008, the series of monochromatic paintings had individual patterns and textures but as an exhibit the paintings looked as if they were one triptych.[13] By separating each section by these three colors, Hedrick was able to tell a story of creation and illumination.[13]

In 2014, Hedrick showed a new series of large, minimalist paintings made up of just white and black colors with hints of gold.[14] This exhibition was titled "Alchemy" and it focused on Egypt's fascination of alchemy and the attempts of many experts of ancient civilizations to convert metal into gold in order to reach immortality.[10][14] The paintings for this series all consisted of black, white and gold blurred together to created different shades of gray that looked unique yet minimal. Hedricks blend of paint produced a fog-like effect that became a great visualization of the main metal that these ancient experts used, lead.There are also traces of gold paint, dripped or scratched, scattered around some the paintings, these add a hint of light to the haziness. [10]
