About Julianne Felton

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be an artist. Long before I knew what to call it, I was drawn to drawing, to color, to the way light falls on water.
But life, as it does, came first. I didn’t truly begin painting until I was a young mother — stolen hours with acrylics and watercolors while the kids were asleep or the house was quiet. Florida’s coastline, its birds, its wide open landscapes, were always my muse. They still are.
A local watercolor class lit a fire in me, and I entered my first outdoor art show at 31. I won second place. I was over the moon. That moment changed everything.
From there I kept painting — in whatever free time I could find between raising a family and working full time. I deepened my skills through life drawing and watercolor workshops at the Art League in Daytona Beach, and through formal study at Daytona State College. By the mid-1980s I was showing in juried art festivals across Central Florida and beyond, winning awards and building a following. The encouragement from the public and the recognition I received along the way kept me going through every season of life.
My work is rooted in the Post-Impressionist tradition — expressive, emotional, and deeply connected to the natural world. I paint the Florida coast because it moves me. The shifting light, the shoreline birds, the way the sky reflects in wet sand — I never run out of things to say about it.
Now based in Port Orange, Florida, I paint from my studio and sell my work to collectors around the world. I hope my paintings bring a piece of that feeling into your home.
