Jackson Fine Art is proud to continue our online viewing room series with works by newly represented photographer, Julie Blackmon.

Contemporary American photographer Julie Blackmon draws inspiration from the raucous tavern scenes of 17th-century Dutch and Flemish painters, creating photographs based around the people and places in her small community. Blackmon has compared her surroundings to a giant Hollywood prop closet, where a Starbucks employee out on a smoke break may appear in her next photograph, or the beauty shop she passes every day becomes the setting for a new piece. "It's a fun perspective to have... to see the world around you as a potential story or idea. It changes how you see things. Nora Ephron said, 'everything is copy,' and that has really stayed with me. I live and work in a generic town, with a generic name, in the middle of America, in the middle of nowhere… but the stories unfolding around me are endless."
