JULIA PURINTON

Historic Ipswich, Massachusetts is the home of Medusa Studio, where painter Julia Purinton explores memory & metaphor in her work, using landscape & animal imagery in oil paintings that evoke the subtle beauty of seasonal change and the mystery of the everyday.

Julia Purinton on Animals:

"In legend & lore, animals have long embodied human emotion, variously representing virtue, vice, sentiment & fear. Through anthropomorphism, symbolic & allusive, the animal world lends order & meaning to mankind's complex psychology."

Julia Purinton on Landscapes:

"For years the paintings have seemed a sort of environmental call to arms, engaged in the transience and fragility of nature; but a recent shift of focus has revealed the work as a reflection of psychological passages: accepting loss, finding joy, & releasing regret."
