Artistic Journey | Bio
An artist since childhood, Julee Latimer is an Australia-based English artist who initially gained international acclaim for her sculptural mosaic art. The physical demands of extensive material cutting led to wrist and elbow strain, prompting a pivotal shift in her creative approach. Latimer chronicled this transition in her book, Sculptural Secrets for Mosaic (Schiffer Publishing, USA, 2017), which marked the end of that chapter in her artistry. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2019, majoring in Sculpture and Painting, from Curtin University in Perth.
Drawing on her experiences of relocating internationally and the consequent cycles of forming and re-forming social connections, Latimer developed a distinctive technique that involves deconstructing and reinventing paint after it has dried. Working from her home studio in Melbourne, she creates vibrant series that explore this process in varied ways. Her work has reached finalist status in several prestigious art prizes and is included in both private and public collections worldwide.

Our Mission and Actions
At THE ART HUB, our mission is initially focused on addressing a profound imbalance within the art world, specifically catering to women artists. In the current landscape, a mere 5% to 15% of artworks traded at auctions are created by women, starkly contrasted by the overwhelming 85% to 95% of works by male artists. This disparity is not only confined to auctions but is also prevalent in exhibitions, where male-created art significantly overshadows that of their female counterparts.
By concentrating our efforts on female artists, THE ART HUB aims to counteract this imbalance and champion women within the art community. This initiative is designed to amplify the visibility of women artists, making their creations more accessible to a wider audience, and ultimately striving for a more balanced representation of genders within art auctions and exhibitions. By prioritizing women in art, our platform boldly advocates for equality and diversity within the art sector, signaling a commitment to reshaping and enriching the cultural landscape.
Personal Statement
“I am an artist without brushes, using paint that has dried before I manipulate it.”
I am captivated by the notion of paint existing independently from the canvas, allowing me to use it as a solid material. By pouring paint onto plastic and removing it once dry, I grant the paint the autonomy to shape itself. I harness its inherent flexibility to delve into my interests in textiles, collage, and sculptural techniques.
My works, intricate in detail, emerge from countless hours of meticulous cutting, layering, and gluing. This process-oriented approach beautifully fuses hands-on craftsmanship with fine art aesthetics. My primary goal is to spark discussions about the essence of painting and to challenge conventional expectations of what a painting can be.
Looking ahead, I aim to blur the lines between artistic genres further, actively resisting easy classification. My future projects include continued experimentation with paint as a molded material for sculptural works and the exploration of paint threads for creating textiles.
I am also keen to expand my emerging presence in the corporate world through collaborations and commissions with designers and art agencies. My ultimate aspiration is to see my works displayed in a major museum.
