Julie considers herself primarily a landscape painter. She often paints outdoors, in remote places around the southwest. At other times, she paints “imagined views of places that exist only in the minds’ eye.” To Julie, painting is “a way of traveling . . . a form of magical practice, a doorway into a new dimension.” She says, "if I can imagine a view clearly enough, I can paint it and make it look real. In that process I experience being there.”
She has spent a number of years studying traditional Tibetan thangka painting, the art of representing deities on canvas.
Julie also travels extensively and supports her trips by sourcing gemstones from around the world and designing unique jewelry pieces. She works with the local jewelers in Nepal and other places to create settings that showcase the therapeutic qualities of the stones. She believes everyone should have access to the magical qualities of precious and semi-precious stones, and has a range of qualities and prices available.
