About the artist

Julie C Baer

US

I have painted for over 40 years. I have struggled with lifelong PTSD, chronic pain, and depression due to childhood trauma, and artmaking saved my life, providing a discipline, calling, and identity. Making art is a recursive, developmental practice of solving problems, creating order, discovering the “adjacent possible.” My pain informs my empathy and deepens my sensitivity as an artist and naturalist. I studied for the first two years of college at Rhode Island School of Design, graduating from the New School for Social Research in NYC, after which I painted and exhibited full-time. In 2007, however, depression forced me to take a break from making art. I needed a change, so I attended graduate school for education, earning a master’s from Harvard and doctorate from Northeastern University. For 15 years, I taught writing to students of all ages and backgrounds in higher ed, workforce development, and community-based programs. The pandemic unexpectedly brought me back to making art. Art can spark insight, stir hearts, and stimulate freshness and hope. I want my work to inspire viewers to care for themselves and their biomes. My gallery is Atlantic Works Gallery in Boston, MA.
