    “Dreamtime,” the title of Julie Bernstein Engelmann’s show, is an aboriginal term for the eternal place where the uncreated spiritual essence of form exists. Engelmann’s lush abstracts have won numerous awards. She was 20151226_Athenahonored with a retrospective exhibit, “Being Spirit,” at the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Altoona, PA. Site Coordinator Barbara Hollander said, “Her technique relies partly on many years of study and partly on an intuitive, creative interaction with what she refers to as the ‘painting spirit.’ The resulting works are spiritually resonant and ineffably uplifting.”
