Experience the Dynamic Works of Julie Shunick Brown & Michael Sutton

The ArtCentre of Plano is proud to present an exhibition showcasing the compelling works of Julie Shunick Brown and Michael Sutton, two accomplished artists whose distinct approaches to painting and sculpture create an engaging and dynamic visual experience.

Julie Shunick Brown’s paintings reflect a deep connection to color, movement, and form, shaped by a lifetime of artistic exploration. Having studied art from an early age—sketching in the halls of The National Gallery and later refining her technique at Arizona State University and Southern Methodist University—Julie brings a sophisticated yet expressive energy to her compositions. Her work, found in private and corporate collections across the U.S., Canada, and Spain, captures a balance between precision and emotion, inviting viewers into a world of layered color and thoughtful abstraction.

Michael Sutton’s sculptural work, with its bold use of glass, metal, and intricate surface treatments, reveals an evolving journey from functional design to fine art. Influenced by abstract expressionism and a fascination with material interplay, his sculptures embody both structure and spontaneity. His pieces, collected by private patrons and prominently displayed in Malai Kitchen’s locations, demonstrate a masterful ability to merge craftsmanship with artistic vision.

Together, these artists offer a compelling dialogue between painting and sculpture—between the fluidity of pigment and the solidity of form. Visitors to the exhibition will experience a striking interplay of texture, color, and dimension, as Brown’s vibrant canvases interact with Sutton’s sculptural compositions. Whether you are a collector, an admirer of contemporary art, or simply curious about the transformative power of artistic expression, this exhibition promises to be an inspiring and immersive experience.
