Julie Risien is a Corvallis-based abstract artist who works primarily in fluid acrylics. She draws

 inspiration from the subtle connections and interdependencies in nature and is guided by

 acceptance that so much in the world is wondrous, hidden and beyond our control. Her process enables cultivation of gratitude for what is and what becomes. The Emergent Flow concept and philosophy comes from Julie's research in social science which employs concepts of complexity, emergence, flow, sojourning, and becoming to understand how learning in connected networks can transform social systems. Her art can be viewed on her website www.emergentflow.art and she shares works in progress on instagram.com/emergentflow.art.
