In this video I share my 2014 solo exhibition "The Western Veil" at the Illinois State Museum.  I gave a talk describing some of the works and impetus for this series and a walk through with some installation shots.

Julia Haw (b. 1982, Flint, MI) attended Western Michigan University with a concentration in painting and is recognized for creating bold memory-staining works. She addresses personal and immediate social issues, and most presently, global and political issues, and examines such topics as feminism, ageism, memory deterioration, intimacy, death and confrontational experience. She uses oil paint on cotton or linen as her mainstay medium, in order to achieve empathetic coverage of these socially and emotionally shared issues, and has been able to achieve considerable viewer pause through her dedicated work habit, vibrant color choices, straightforward subject matter, and by using people and objects within her community as models. Haw’s paintings tend to function as highly relatable, ensuing discussion amongst viewers, and bringing the public forum necessarily back.

Her work has been exhibited in such places as the Chicago Cultural Center, IL State Museum, in Siem Reap, Cambodia, and extensively with curator and dealer Claire Molek.
The artist lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
