About

About Julie Stewart

Julie Stewart is a New Zealand wire sculptor whose small-scale works explore the shape, balance and movement of people, animals and birds.

A Lifetime of Making

Although sculpture is a relatively recent focus, Julie has spent a lifetime making and creating. Her long experience working with animals has given her a deep familiarity with their structure and character — an understanding that naturally informs her work.

Working in Wire

Wire is strong yet unforgiving, requiring patience and intuition to guide it into form. Each sculpture evolves gradually, with no real road map, but rather a series of paths with different destinations.The Work

The result is a series of smaller sculptural studies that capture the essence of the subject — its posture, balance and presence — expressed through the simplicity of line. Julie works from her studio in New Zealand, and her sculptures are collected both locally and internationally.
