About Julianne Felton

Welcome to my contemporary art gallery showcasing some of my original landscape paintings and watercolors.

‘I paint beach paintings because I fell in love with painting and the beach at an early age. Those two activities were my first loves in life and have continued to inspire and motivate me to create to this day.’

Drawing inspiration from a myriad of sources: experimentation, imagination, memory and photographic references, Julianne Felton creates beach watercolor paintings, oil paintings, bird watercolors, beach landscape paintings, colorful seascape paintings, and fun artwork.

'My odyssey through the realm of painting is a lifelong adventure, an exploration and experimentation with painting, colors, textures, and tools.

'There is an indescribable sense of joy and connection when my art draws in others, inspiring them to share my creations with their life. I am profoundly grateful to all who have collected my paintings since 1986.'

Julianne grew up in Rockville, Maryland and moved to Florida in 1974. There she met her husband of 48 years, Rob Felton. Together they worked and forged a life together with their children. Travels to art shows throughout Florida and other cities in the U.S. were their life for many years. Today Julianne works from her studio and enjoys the blessings of being a grandmother and having a wonderful family.

'Thank you for gracing my gallery with your presence. I extend my heartfelt invitation to explore my paintings and prints, and hope that you, too, will discover a joyful connection to my work.'
