Tree Love Plate

Julie’s art reflects her gentle, thoughtful nature. Her meditative approach to art making is evident in her colored pencil nature studies, where she uses the source material as a springboard to abstract improvisation. These drawings have a sense of tranquility due to their soft colors, uncrowded compositions, and careful lines. Julie has also discovered a gift for making sculptural objects. Using a variety of natural materials, such as reed and sticks, she makes structures she calls “Dream Catchers.” Each piece takes months to make and serves as a visual journal, embedded with autobiographical symbols.
