Hello my name is Julie Wiegand. I have been a working artist in Missouri

for over 25 years. I grew up in the Missouri River Bottoms of Chesterfield, surrounded by huge cottonwood trees and farm fields for miles. I continue to express my connection & love of the countryside through my art.

My oil paintings and murals express light & color interactions within

a subject. A large percentage of my oils are painted en plein air & I

truly enjoy this challenging & rewarding work. Many of my plein air

subjects then become larger studio works. I am drawn to simple compositions

& strive to convey the feelings of my chosen subjects---solitude, peace, joy, excitement----within landscape, figurative, & still life murals & oil paintings.

There is true joy for me in capturing a mood with color & light.

My work can be seen at Astral Glass,New Haven, Missouri, Art Trends Gallery, Chesterfield, Missouri, Clarksville Glassworks , Clarksville , Missouri, Kuenstlerhaus Gallery, Hermann, Missouri, at my biannual studio sales, or by appointment at my home/studio, Lyon School Studio, an 1868 Limestone one room Schoolhouse situated on 15 acres of high land in Berger, Missouri, three miles from the Missouri River. Thanks for visiting my website!
