ARTIST BIO & ARTIST STATEMENT

Website: www.jrmade.studio

Julie Rothschild is an interdisciplinary artist, experimenting with fiber, steel and movement. Ever curious about the myriad ways we move in relationship to our environments and each other, she makes artworks (material choreographies) to realize her questions and discoveries. As a young dancer, student and athlete, she saw dance vocabulary in everything. Dynamism everywhere. Nothing static. Her creative practice encompasses both this constant input and her desire for empty space.

Leading up to her work as a visual artist, Julie has gleaned most of what she knows from the people and places with whom and where she has lived and danced. Small towns, small stages, small dances. Some of these include WRA, CC, OSU, Lawrence Arts Center, Zen Monkey Project, McGuffey Arts Center, Live Arts, Warehouse Collective, UGA, Emory, Dance Exchange, ATI, FloorSpace Athens/Boulder, Performática, Chicken Bank Collective, CloseLook, MAPS, and practice of making. The interconnectedness between each of these landscapes and communities remains a steady dance partner.

Julie was recently featured in LUXE magazine and had her first solo art exhibit, BODY AT WORK, at the Bus Stop Gallery in Boulder, CO. Her piece, HORIZONAL B, was selected to be in the juried online exhibit, WOMEN ARTISTS MAKING THEIR MARK, at the O’HANLON CENTER FOR THE ARTS in Mill Valley, CA. In October 2024, she was part of “Women in FIber,” a show featuring 3 fiber artists, Darcie Shively, Maryanne Quinn, and Julie, at Low Rider Gallery, a show that received a feature in Boulder Lifestyle Magazine. Last September, Julie showed a new body of work in an exhibit featuring Sara Goldenberg White, Camille McMurry and herself at the Boulder Jewish Community Center Messinger Gallery.
