Julie has a strong passion for her art, and has won a number of awards for her work. Her styles are diverse, ranging from realistic (often with a contemporary twist) to sophisticated adult whimsical. Her art can be found on garden flags, door mats, gift bags, toddler boy's train furniture, nesting boxes, trays, clocks, trivets, tableware, ceramics, stationery products and more.

Julie is a full time artist, and spends her days working in her home studio overlooking Forest Lake of Forest Lake, Minnesota in the company of her two golden retrievers (Lily and Max) and three needy parrots (Jamie, Mesha and Roxie).
