Original Abstract Fine Art by Austin Artist, Julie Ahmad. Specializing in large, oversized and custom made paintings. 

Uninhibited and free, Ahmad's art bares no boundaries.  Her paintings manifest by inner guidance and are created intuitively.  Each piece has it's own uniqueness capturing the energy of that moment from which is was created with paint on canvas. 

All of my original art can be purchased as a giclee print on high quality paper, canvas or metal. 
Please email me about pricing and sizing information.

**★★★★★ — lendyduda, Aug. 2016**

> Just purchased a beautiful piece of original art from Julie Ahmad for our office space, the navy leather chairs and the shades of blue abstract work perfect together.  I love the size and the colors and texture.  Julie was so nice to work with.  THANK YOU!!

**★★★★★ — mmeadows19, Aug. 2016**

> I've had the good fortune to work with Julie Ahmad on three different custom paint portraits. I was thrilled with each art piece: vivid colors, beautiful work, timely, and the best gift ever!!! Check out her unique glitter art!

**★★★★★ — vhenige, Nov. 2015**

> I purchased a beautiful abstract by Julie Ahmad in late 2014 which I had seen while on vacation in Austin TX.  I love the piece, it has gorgeous rich colors, and it has been a wonderful addition to my home.

**★★★★★ — Angel Rodenbeck, Feb. 2015**

> Julie is so amazing and talented! I am a professional stager and had a really high profile listing coming up that needed something special. I sent Julie a picture of the living room chairs and decorative couch pillow that were the driving forces for the living room color scheme. I asked her if she had any pieces that would work with them. In 24 hrs she delivered one of the most gorgeous paintings I had ever seen that tied in perfectly with the pillow and chairs and made the room complete. I couldn't believe that she could just create something that so beautifully complemented the existing items. Additionally, I sent her a picture of the client's bedroom and bedding. She was able to provide another painting that she already had to hang over the bed. She took my ordinary staging items and kicked them up a notch! I am so grateful to her for allowing me to showcase her art in our listing. I am in awe of her talent. She is amazing to work with and I hope I get to do it again soon!

**★★★★★ — Dustin Raye, Dec. 2014**

> I ran across Julie's paintings while participating in the East Austin Art Tour. I was very impressed with her works and enjoyed having an opportunity to speak with her about them. My wife and I are considering a custom piece for our home.

**★★★★★ — Brandi Raye, Dec. 2014**

> Her art is unique and could complete any room. Extremely talented artist! She offers a variety of bold colors with a modern design. Highly recommended!

**Comment from Julie Ahmad Contemporary Art:**

> Thanks for stopping by during the EAST Austin Studio Tour and then for the great night out at Uchi with both our other halves!  Your support and encouragement is so valued and appreciated, thank you again.

**★★★★★ — Element 5 Architecture, Nov. 2014**

> I run an architectural firm in Austin and we find Julie's art to be complimentary to the modern architecture we produce. Her work is inspiring and dynamic and she can even create pieces that are custom designed for the room they will be housed. We have found her to be very professional and creative - a rare mix.

**★★★★★ — lizdeplea, Oct. 2014**

> I first saw Julie's paintings online. I loved them and I emailed her right away to ask if I could see 6 of them. She responded the same day and we set up a time. While the paintings were lovely online, they were all the more beautiful up close. Julie was warm, welcoming, and I felt no pressure at all to make a purchase. We talked about the way the paintings would fit in to my home and she listened to my questions and thoughts.  I am not an impulse buyer, but I was ready to buy one of her paintings that day. I am so happy that I did. I am hopeful that I will be able to buy another one soon. I look forward to having Julie over to see her painting when I hang it. The whole experience was a pleasure.

**Comment from Julie Ahmad Contemporary Art:**

> Thank you Elizabeth, it was a pleasure meeting you and I hope you will enjoy your piece for years to come.  Thank you again for supporting my craft which allows me to continue to do what I love!

  - Description: I paint both abstracts and pet portraits. I need both the tightness and clarity of my dogs and the organic looseness of my abstracts to create balance. Each process not only compliments the other but is essential to each other's vitality. My dogs have a pop art quality to them combing a flat, graphic style with bright colors. Many of my original dog art is embellished in glitter. It's a tedious process, after the dog is fully painted with acrylics each section has custom mixed glitter applied to…

  - Description: I love working with color. Often when creating a custom piece, I send my client to the color palette page of my website, after making their selection, I get to work on mix their colors. Just getting the shades and hues just right is an adventure in it's self, but the real magic happens when the canvas beings to develop and take shape into what it was wants to be. Painting intuitively is incredibly therapeutic, exhilarating and calming all at the same time, that's why I love to do it! All of my o…
