ABOUT the artist

Hi, I’m Julie!

I’m happy you are here.

As an artist, I thrive on telling stories through my art, especially when painting individuals. It all begins with a single portrait, and from there, I aim to craft something brimming with whimsy and joy.  I enjoy using different materials to capture the essence of the people I paint. My favorite technique is collage, where I mix and match materials to make my art come alive.  I craft my own mono-printed papers, which I then use to create vibrant backgrounds and adorn the attire of my people. 

My portraits aren’t just pictures; they’re celebrations of what makes each person unique. When you look at them, I hope you can feel the connection between me, the artist, and the person in the painting.  I’m always trying new things, whether it’s adding fun designs or trying out different backgrounds, I want my art to make people feel happy and curious. I hope my art brings delight and inspiration to everyone who sees it.
