Artist Statement:
Juliana Romnes has spent the past 25 years exploring her home state of Florida through the medium of photography, and her work has been exhibited in group exhibitions at museums and galleries throughout Florida, at venues including the Lake County Museum of Art, Tavares; Butterfield Garage Gallery, St. Augustine; Southeast Museum of Photography, Daytona Beach; Snap!Space, Orlando; and the Cape Center, Cape Canaveral, among others. She attended the Southeast Center for Photographic Studies at Daytona State College and went on to receive a Bachelor of Science in Photography and a Master’s Degree in Nonprofit Management, both from the University of Central Florida.
Her photography has also been widely published. In 2021 and 2022, her photographs were published in Cadence, the anthology from the Florida State Poet’s Association. In 2025 her photographs were published in Suboart issue 55, an art publication based in Lisbon, Portugal, the publication The Coastal Landscape published by PhotoPlace Gallery in Burlington, VT, and in the zine Common Ground, based in Portland, OR, among others.
Romnes has had her work featured in 2 solo exhibitions at Arts on Douglas in New Smyrna Beach. In 2022, she presented a series titled Coastal Impressions, and in 2025, her solo exhibition titled Borderlands was exhibited. Romnes is represented by Arts on Douglas. Both bodies of work explore ephemeral spaces along the shore, and unique interactions that occur in spaces where land meets sea.
