Julie's interest in art began in her teens after drawing members of her church. She set aside her love of art for a few years after the birth of her twin daughters. Several years later she picked up her paintbrushes and began a journey to bring her art to life in the world around her. She graduated from a two year program with Penn Foster Schools in 2005, and is now participating in workshops and working with local artist. She enjoys working with acrylic and oil. She has a studio and small gallery in Pleasant Plains, Arkansas. In 2006 Julie was a member of the gallery walk committee of Heber Springs, Arkansas which worked to promote Art in the area. She has been featured in the Arkansas News Magazine "The Three Rivers Edition'. She is a member of the Arkansas Artist Registry and the Eureka Springs Registry. One of her paintings 'Hay Bales' was exhibited at the Clinton Presidential Library, sponsored by the Clinton Foundation and the Thea Foundation with 'Art Across Arkansas'.
