Hello Friends
I'm Julie, a painter and visual designer.
I am so glad you are here!
My Art Journey
In 2021, I decided to become a full-time artist. However, I have always been involved in artistic endeavors since childhood and even sold my earliest drawings of horses and dogs at Holiday Bazaars in Germany when I was 8 years old.
Leading up to starting my recent professional art career, I had dedicated my time to being a stay-at-home mom for my youngest son, Zen, and when he started school, I found myself with the opportunity of time to pursue what brings me joy, connection, healing and transformation.
Ultimately, coming back to my art is providing me a path forward in so many beautiful ways!
Prior, I worked and served in many creative roles; I've served as Senior Graphic Designer for the Public Affairs & Marketing Office, HQ Darnall Army Medical Center, an Official Army Photographer, a Multi-Media Specialist for the Directorate of Information Management, Web Master for Fort Carson's Network Enterprise Center, Art teacher at the Bemis School of Art, Colorado Springs, Dance Instructor/Studio Owner in various capacities, and painter of fine art, murals & faux finishes... to name a few!
I have exhibited nationally, received public and private commissions, earned awards for fine art and graphic design, and have experience teaching adults and children dance and fine art.
The rest is still unwritten... I invite you to join me in new beginnings and exciting adventures!
Inspiration
I have always felt a deep connection to something greater than myself with a knowing that there is so much more to life than can be comprehended by our mind or seen with our eyes. These intangibles are most intriguing to me. They spark my imagination, keep me curious, and heighten my awareness.
Reflection
As I reflect on the boundless mysteries of the universe and myself, I am drawn to the ethereal beauty that lies beyond our grasp, captivating my senses and evoking a sense of wonder.
Transformation
These reflections open the door to awareness. The profound power of awareness to heal and inspire compassion, along with the ability to spark transformative change, is something I deeply resonate with. Delving into this inner wisdom fuels my creative pursuits, allowing me to delve deeper and share my artistry with others.
Resiliency & Hope
I express resiliency, connection, and self-reflection through my art!
I create inspirational and transformative artwork that provides value in the vision that sparks awareness of what is hidden, or yet to be seen, inspiring healing, transformation, and the evolution of internal and external structures.

The Creative Process
The creative process provides me an opportunity to connect with the ultimate creator, experience healing, explore humanity, express gratitude, find beauty and hope in chaos, and share that experience with others!
The creative process allows me the opportunity to literally create beauty out of any circumstance.
I love to create work that is intentional, feminine and visceral. I do this by balancing the presence of the artist hand and the elements of design at play.
My goal is to create art that provides the viewer with an emotional experience - to feel the promise of a brighter future, the power to choose their reality despite their circumstances, connect through compassion, to be inspired, and to provide encouragement to others!
