Julius Allchin – Artist

 Statement

Although I studied art in high school, it wasn’t until many years later when my son asked me to sit down and color with him that I was reminded of my love of art.  I don’t have a specific style.  I am a self-taught artist who is inspired by the world around me.  I had always done mostly pencil drawings in the past.  I wanted to try painting with acrylics and that’s where I began again.
