Julia Van Develder

Longtime resident of the Hudson Valley, Julia Van Develder is a self-taught landscape painter who works in acrylics. "It's no accident that the first American 'school'--the Hudson River School of landscape painters--originated here," she says. "I am inspired daily by the majesty of the region”. Her aim is to create paintings that inspire in the viewer a sense of tranquility and wonder at the simple beauty of trees and fields, clouds and sunsets, light and shadow.
