Juliette Hemingway is a self-taught artist who studied the atelier system of classical realism. Her work is influenced by an eclectic set of artists such as, Picasso, Basquiat, the Harlem Renaissance artists as well as comic book and graffiti artists.
Juliette has developed her own very personalized and independent style. A style she has dubbed "Funky Cool". Her canvases are bold tones of color and precise pen & ink outlines. Her works are abstractions of the figure supported on a multimedia ground that adds depth and a dimensional quality.
Funky cool encompasses her truth. “I cannot improve on what God has created,” states the artist, “I can only make it funky cool”.
