The Story behind Julia's 'Dream Catcher' - a 'Dream on Paper'
Dopamine Dream Catcher Fine Art Prints France Paris Work on Paper
A 'dream on paper '- Julia was invited to show her “Dream Catcher” Collection in Paris, in December 2020, during the Pandemic. The gallerist compared her “Dream Catcher” paintings to Monet’s water lily wartime paintings, which brought psychic relief to the French as WWI was ending. The aim of the show was to allow her work to inspire hope in the despondent Parisian community, as they faced a second lock down.
