Julie's Art
​Simply, fine art, decorator coastal art, and fabric art issue the variety 
and moods I paint. Pets too, because I love them. Custom requests are welcome. And, I love to paint large canvases. If you are littoral friendly, you will quickly 
find your heart among my paintings of coastal scenes and wildlife.
My Coastal Art images are marketed widely through a licensing agreement with Sundance Graphics of Orlando, FL that places my work in home decor and furniture stores across the southern states. They are affordable original takes on the coastal region that accent homes with the serene moods of its personality and charm. A Flamingo with attitude, ladies skirting the surf, or a calming beach scene; there is something to excite most tastes in the art. Originals are available on request. 

“Paint Me A Pillow” is the natural issue of the design symmetry that shapes home décor. These exquisite fabric and hand-painted pillows make a design statement wherever placed. You will love the quality and presence of these unusual “dress-ups.” You can find them in stores around Sarasota and Bonita Springs, on Etsy.com, and here, just contact me to purchase for your home. Suggest a theme or subject and I’ll try to make it come to life on these luxurious pillows.

Fine Art is the master’s yearning in all artists—on canvas, paper, piano, and the media of all landscapes. It is the deepest sense of what must eventually find the light, the most honest manifestation of the glory in artistic endeavor. It might not be “you,” but the “me” in it will touch you—a twice blessing for the artist. It is the art that takes hold of my brush as though moved of spirit. I can’t tell what it will bring, but it is an artist’s compulsion and joy to follow it.

It is best to take small bites of art and spend time on each piece. Imagine it in its place in your home and how it relates to you and your surroundings. When you hear the voice that created them you will have found what you are looking for. Pause there to consider next steps. I am always happy to talk about my art, so write or call to give background to your selections. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, ask: the receiver is always as creative as the giver of art.
