VOODOOLUKE Not just ART but RAD Art

Julie Luke Boobs, dots, and black.I was born in a small town called Sequim, Washington, and I was the eighth child out of nine. My family is very artistic in their own way, and my grandparents were artists, musicians and chefs. I never grew up submerged with culture and the arts though, but creating things was always a need to be filled in my life and always made me feel secure, it felt “right”.I began painting at a young age, it was an impulse and lure to a secure place, that no one could touch or take away. I paint to tell stories of my subconscious, and I finally became comfortable with my art, when I stopped caring what people seen , or thought was “Good”, what did that word mean anyway? That’s when I found painting; good thing because I am horrible at drawing. I fell in love with the smell and feel of paint, and realized that this was my tool for freedom.Someone asked me, “Julie when people see your work what do you want them to see?And in my honest opinion, what ever they want. I know my work is very cluttered odd, and raw, and that is the way I like it, ha! Really what can you see in that mess!I of course want others to see my “vision”, but it’s impossible, it was a moment while I was painting. But when you see the big picture of my work, a body of work that changes back and forth, and is almost too much to look at, well its clear that I am just plainly nuts!I don’t like to bore people with fake stories of a love affair with art is a super vision of conceptual meaning for people to like me, or some line of B.S about my piece rolling off my tongue while I eat cheese and crackers. I simply just do what I do, and hope others can take some sort of love or hate from my artwork. I believe in the meaning of truly loving what you do, and I think it is sincerely evident in my paintings.
