Julie Durkin Marty (b. 1977, Pennsylvania) doesn’t just paint the world—she paints its hidden rhythms. Her abstract paintings are alive with the push and pull between human experience and the forces of nature: shifting tides, storm fronts, and the slow transformation of the ocean floor. Each canvas unfolds as a portal—layered, luminous, and full of mystery—inviting viewers to linger, to keep looking, and to discover something new with each encounter. Her work is defined by a rare combination of emotional depth and formal rigor. Each surface pulses with energy, holding traces of memory, movement, and ecological rhythms, capturing the tension between fragility and resilience, and offering a fresh vision in contemporary abstraction. She holds a BFA from Parsons School of Design and an MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. Her work has been shown nationally at DADA POST, Holland Tunnel, G-Town Arts, 63 Audubon, GBG Gallery, Mulry Fine Art, and CoLAB Arts, and featured in The New York Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and The Palm Beach Daily News.
