Thomas Center Galleries Regional Juried Exhibition
July 22-September 13, 2006
Julianne was accepted into the Thomas Center Galleries Regional Juried Exhibition.
"My piece is called 'Concealment'. It's a depiction combining the emotional impact of war on women & children in Afghanistan as well as the emotional impact on my own personal insight into a culture which up until then wasn't really something I knew very much about. (burkas, oppression of women, beatings, war & the impact on children). I started the painting soon after we went to war."

"Three with Color" - Paintings by Julianne Felton & Carol Napoli, Sculpture by Lisa Messersmith Weaver
Color is key at bright Art League show

Last update: September 04, 2005
DAYTONA BEACH -- The new exhibit at the Art League of Daytona Beach is everything its title suggests -- and more. "Three With Color" isn't just a serious group exhibit of colorful works by outstanding area artists.
It's a blinding, blazing explosion of hot, hectic hues and taut, dynamic forms. Acid greens and jarring orange and magenta radiate from near-abstract canvases by Julianne Felton. The brooding figure standing in the fiery field of Carol Elder Napoli's "Passion Field at Marker 12" is charred and emaciated. Mysterious symbols flow over deeply tinted, hatched surfaces in Lisa Messersmith Weaver's exquisite mixed-media vessels, hinting at treasures and secrets cradled inside. The pod at the heart of "Fire Seed VI, KK's Dream," at left, reveals the power of the searing forces that split it, creating its rocky, elegantly arched nest. All that makes "Three With Color" one of the most exciting Art League shows in memory. Felton's savage impressionism is brilliantly balanced by Napoli's spiritual intensity and Weaver's magnificently crafted enigmas, yet the overall impact of more than 60 pieces in two galleries is raucous, rowdy and delightfully provocative. It's not enough to simply see, study and think about a solid body of work by each of the show's three artists. Thanks to an installation that blends the works, hanging a work by Napoli next to one by Felton and then placing one of Weaver's sculptures close enough for them to interact, comparing and contrasting them is irresistible. And, along the way, constantly seeing them in new lights, from different perspectives. In "Florida Backyard With Ladders," a work that dominates the Art League's long front gallery, brushwork is broad and agitated. The everyday landscape seems to be animated by unexplained energies that distort its trees, old-fashioned umbrella clothesline and tangled underbrush and color them with the artist's perceptions. Shadowy greens and yellows come into focus with the cool hues of Felton's foreground tree, densely slathered with blues that express her reactions to a familiar natural setting. The glare of red in Napoli's "Passion Field at Marker 12" is very different, in its web of strokes and concentration on a single, eye-popping hue. Rather than projecting her feelings about a real landscape, Napoli drew on inner visions and created the flat, forbidding format that represents a "passion field" of the imagination. Just as strongly felt and fully realized are Weaver's sculptures, irregularly shaped vessels that look like boats or huts half-remembered from a dream, or fragments of nature touched with mystery and hidden or long-forgotten meaning. "Spirit Cradle I, State II, Journey to Peace," like "Ellie's Freedom" and other of Weaver's printed-paper structures, both suggest and deny multiple layers of significance. Too delicate to hold an infant or too small to shelter anything more substantial than an idea, the sculptures are three-dimensional poems, shy, fleeting and memorable.
