Julie Speed's work came to national prominence in 1996, when her painting Setting the World on Fire appeared on the cover of singer Shawn Colvin's album A Few Small Repairs. Since then, her work has appeared in survey-length exhibitions in venues like the Austin Museum of Art. Speed's work includes paintings that wed surrealist and Renaissance elements and collages and sculptures that carry a potent fusion of Dada farce and Dali. Speed's work is her own and manifests a distinctly postmodern mode of expression, involving the inflection of diverse art historical dialects through the artists' unique experience and vision.
