This item is an original piece by Julie Testwuide. She says this piece reminds her of finding hope in the depths of COVID and inspired her to name the piece, "Hope rises during the depths of Covid". Julie Betts Testwuide, an award winning photographer and artist began her career after completing her undergraduate degree and graduate degrees at UW-Madison. Julie enjoyed a successful career as a freelance photographer in NYC, working for major corporations, publications, and sporting events around the country. In the 90's, Julie ventured into fine art photography often merging her love of painting with her photography. Aiming for a dreamy ethereal look, her work was described in the New York Times, "Testwuide uses several techniques that make her work look like paintings by Monet or Pissarro." She has won numerous awards and her work is included in many collections worldwide. Her latest work has focused on photographing wild horses around the world and is exhibited in galleries in New York and Malibu. A passionate horse lover, Julie uses her camera to capture equine beauty and spirit in dramatic light and prints them in commanding sizes. She is teaching workshops and sharing her wild horse adventures and photographic techniques with budding photographers. After raising 3 children, Julie and her husband, Kip, moved to Katonah, NY where they reside on a small horse farm. Julie serves on the Board of the Art Department at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. This Artwork is 10x18 on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Paper. This item was kindly donated by Julie Testwuide.
