Julie is a natural artist and composer of art on paper.
“Since the day I picked up a pencil, I was drawn in. The feel of the lead against paper, being able to create worlds from nothingness, it was a very powerful feeling.” She says.

Mostly self-taught, she’s gathered books on other artists and copied their work,
“When I was younger, I based my success on how accurate I could portray their work. As I grew older, I realized success lay in my finding my own way, my own style, forever my worst critic, I feel I have to yet succeed, but rather than expressing my humility, you be the judge” Julie says.
Within her galleries, you will find the culmination of many hours, weeks, years of her work. Whether influenced by Gaugin, Nagel, Rivera or any artist she’s come across her journey. Enjoy!
