Julie-arts.com Julie draws inspiration for her luminous award-winning watercolors from the tropical landscape and colors of her home in Tampa, FL. Color is her muse. “I love to paint wet into wet, to watch as pure colors mix and merge on paper to create new ones no human hand can mix.” Her large-scale floral images are known for their brilliant vibrancy. “I strive for maximum intensity and luminosity of color in every painting”
Julie’s painting career began
in Rockport, MA, where she developed her skills painting landscapes en plein air. She studied at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts as well as with
internationally known artists Robert Wade, Charles Reid and Don Andrews. "Studying in Florence instilled the realization that beauty in painting is rooted in exquisite craftsmanship and confirmed my desire to apply this belief to all of my work.". Julie exhibits her work in juried shows throughout the Tampa Bay area. She is a founding member of C5Arts, a signature member of the Florida Suncoast Watercolor Society, a member of the Creative Artists Guild of Dunedin, and the Beach Art Center in Indian Rocks Beach, where she teaches weekly watercolor classes. Awards include:
1st Place: Beach Art Center,
Spring Members Show, March 2007
Special Award: Florida Suncoast
Watercolor Society, Spring Show, 1st Place: Beach Art Center Transparent Watercolor Show, January 2004
