Born and raised in Montana in a small city and the rural countryside, Juliet Parks was exposed to the outdoors and a boys' life. She grew up as a tomboy playing sports and seeking competition with her fellow male peers. She started drawing at a very young age and taking private art lessons as her parents saw a special talent in her with drawing, painting, as well as music ability. As she grew older her passions started shifting more towards Art and embracing her talent for music as well. She attended Fine Art school at the University of Montana which she studied under artists such as Tom Rippon, Beth Lo, and Marilyn Bruya. When she was a young girl she attended her local Art museum the Yellowstone Art Museum, in Billings, MT and saw one of Rippon's exhibits. She was inspired by his colorful, unique characters and how delicate they all seemed. That was truly when she knew there was something else waiting for her. When she attended her first pottery class at the University of Montana, Rippon was her professor and was immediately drawn back to her eyes-wide-open moment as a little girl gazing upon a master. He quickly became one of her favorite Art professors. Her early works in childhood focused on whimsically weird ink characters she would draw on her school books and sharpie tattoo her friends during lunch break. Her work was more figurative as her home town was lacking in the abstract world she was about to encounter.

When she hit her Junior year of college, she discovered abstract art and experimented with processes in which to mimic earth's surface, texture, and color in her own way. She used wet, soaked rolls of brown paper drenched in a mixture of paint, water, and gouache. To this day, she collects drop cloths and refuses to rid of her plastic sheeting as she can be quite elaborate with her strokes and liquid.

In her 20s and 30s her work became very ethereal, colorful, blended, abstract blurry windows of mixed color to emulate soft horizons as well as misty, cloudy, and sometimes turbulent landscapes. With the amount of thinly applied layers and water, the paint would dry in visual textures and shapes that lent suggestions of a possible composition to launch her imagination onto the canvas.

As time went on, the death of her father came and she took a break from painting. This break was more of a forced artist mental sabbatical to focus on her family and experience emotional grief only to grow into what she would become next as an artist. Her paintings became more minimalistic, inspired less by her physical environment and more of an escape from her grief and her mind.

In 2023 her black and white compositions roughly revealed the raw canvas painted more deliberately and carefully with yet some imperfections as the white layers cover the black shadow of what is her raw emotions.

In her recent years, her paintings have become more deliberately stroked, a newly diagnosed neuro-divergent woman finally beginning to understand and accept herself as neuro-divergent. She now plays on the feelings of insecurity in ADHD and her love and longing to embrace imperfection and impermanence. The thought of Wabi-sabi art intrigues her as she see is beginning to realize these imperfections and imbalanced mind is imperfectly impermanent. There is beauty in unease of discovering ones-self and the ability to embrace it. This is Juliet Parks.
