Hello friends and welcome 

I've been involved with creativity, art and design all my life, through advertising campaigns, product labelling, marketing management, travel writing full time in London, living and working in Italy, designing products, my own start up design business (see a few examples on this page), winning the WISE (Women in Self Employment) award, exporting my work, and spreading our special kiwi bird and others throughout the Asia Pacific (with McDonald's).   For the the last 20 years, I've been all about art for sale.   NZ born, I'm based at Mt Maunganui.  I paint emotive images that translate positive feelings through paint. I grew up in small towns Cambridge and Howick, and spent half life in the fibro Bach at Waihi Beach.  The NZ coastline and the beaches produce deep feelings, and after living in Europe and visiting Pacific islands regularly,  I developed a love for high colour loose florals and courtyard life.  

My interpretation is influenced by abstract expressionism and Matisse's fauvist art movement.

I move colours, shapes and line around - the process is an emotional dance with pigments, canvas and my heart and soul.   Nothing is produced by rote, everything is a bespoke one off and it's own special art being.

My art is now successfully located far and wide, New York - Sydney - Denarau Fiji - and through NZ big city foyers and board rooms , wineries and gorgeous houses.    

Please enquire about current work available and prices. For occasional day to days go to Facebook Julie Allen Artist and Instagram @julieallenart.  I don't sell from these, but use them to connect with friends and art lovers.
