Julia Gardner creates her mixed media artwork with resin -- an extremely tricky, often unpredictable medium. Building up her artwork from either clear flat molded resin or wood panels Julia creates “windows” in which she layers her photos with mixed media (ink, oil pastel, metallic tape, wire, etc.) in multiple layers of resin. Each layer has to be created with precise temperature and humidity conditions to create artwork that results in the almost glass-like final piece. Her most recent Portland Cityscape series includes signature landmarks that speak to the history of the city: old theaters, the signs and architecture of motels, bars and other long-standing Portland businesses, local sculptures and more.
