Hi, I’m Julie.

I’m an artist, traveler, creator, and lifelong believer that beauty can be found even in life’s most unexpected places.

For more than 30 years, my professional life has been centered around creativity through website design, marketing, and helping others share their stories with the world. But somewhere along the way, painting became something more than a creative hobby. It became a place to slow down, listen, explore, heal, and create without expectations.

What began as curiosity evolved into a passion.

Today, I create original watercolor and acrylic paintings inspired by travel, nature, personal growth, and the moments that often go unnoticed. Some pieces begin with a memory from a place I’ve visited. Others emerge from a feeling, a season of life, or simply a color palette that refuses to leave me alone.

My work is not about perfection. It’s about possibility.

It’s about allowing a blank canvas to become something unexpected and trusting the process along the way.

My Artistic Journey

I didn’t grow up thinking I would become an artist.

In fact, if you had asked me years ago, I would have described myself as a web designer, marketer, business owner, wife, mother, and volunteer. Art entered my life later and quietly began teaching me lessons about patience, courage, creativity, and letting go of the need to control every outcome.

Each painting represents a moment in that journey.

Some are bold and colorful. Others are soft and reflective. Together, they tell the story of growth, healing, joy, resilience, and discovering beauty in the unfolding process of life

What Inspires Me

Travel and the places that leave a lasting impression.

Nature and the changing seasons.

Color, texture, and movement.

Personal growth and transformation.

Everyday moments that make us pause and pay attention.

The stories we carry and the experiences that shape us!
