ulia McKee has a wonderful impressionist style and her landscapes are sunny and vibrant. Julia captures the serenity, vastness, and beauty of nature across the Western U.S. She is a signature member of Oil Painters of America, Alla Prima International, and Plein Air New Mexico. Honored as one of the fifty best landscape artists in the U.S. by Artist's Magazine, she travels around the country in search of meaningful subjects for her plein air paintings. Julia says, "When painting a landscape outdoors, my goal is to capture the essence of the scene. Each location has a special 'language', an aura all its own. It is my hope to translate this 'language' so the viewer will experience that special aura when viewing my paintings."
