Greenway Galavant
- Watercolor
- 23 x 28 in
- Julia Raring
Having recently moved back to Roanoke in December of 2021, Julia Raring and her family take great comfort in the surrounding natural world. After around 20 years of following her spouse, who was serving in the US Air Force, Raring looks forward to putting down roots and finding a home in the festivals, arts, and community in Roanoke.
Her watercolor work typically excludes the human figure to allow the viewer to feel themselves in the scene, but Raring made an exception for her self-portrait. “I want to convey the majestic greenspace of the Roanoke area and how important it is to me and my family,” says Raring.
Here, she and her family are pictured multiple times, exploring the greenway and its benefit to the community both physically and mentally through a variety of outdoor activities.
