Juliana Heyne was born in Napoleon, Ohio, and has traveled extensively throughout the world. Her Old World Series is greatly influenced by her visit to Greece. The artist purposely paints from memory so that she can translate and manipulate her experiences into images that convey an immediate sense of place. In describing her creative process, the Heyne explains that “I try to make images that convey some kind of truth about visual experiences, particularly the feeling of seeing something for the first time.”
