About Julie
I graduated with my BFA in Studio Art in 2009, and have had my hands on paint and a glue gun since childhood.
I live in Columbus, GA with my almost perfect husband and am a mother to a remarkable daughter, a tiny old dog, and far too many plants. Baking and consuming cake in equal measure is my norm and I thoroughly enjoy reading, playing piano and harp, cross stitching, and a walk that concludes with a waterfall.
I sometimes squeeze in artmaking between my many hobbies and love for napping.
Artist Statement
I make things with the hope of beautifying a space. If nothing else, to have an onlooker say, “I can do that” and encourage them to make something of their own.
Imperfections speak to me. I love real, raw and vulnerability. Keeping my art in tune to be true to my abilities and non-fussy is a reflection of how I like most things in my life.
Cut paper analog collages are my newest form of creation. I use discarded magazines and books to create new scenarios from combining old images with bold new ones for a story to come to life.
