2018 Juror:  Julie Heffernan



Julie Heffernan is a Brooklyn-based painter who exhibits widely throughout the USA and internationally. She received her M.F.A. in Painting and Printmaking at the Yale School of Art and Architecture. Her lush self-portraits are drawn from the streaming images of her subconscious and filled with references to art history and her growing concern for the environment. Heffernan creates surreal, natural landscapes interspersed with human constructions, conflicts and afflictions. She invites us to witness the drama unfolding in these dreamlike worlds as they fall out of balance. She is represented by PPOW Gallery and Catherine Clark Gallery and has received numerous grants and fellowships including an NEA, a NYFA Grant, a Fulbright-Hayes Grant to West Berlin and several awards from the National Academy Museum. Heffernan is a Professor of Fine Art at Montclair State University.
