I am so enjoying this spring weather we’re having here in Wisconsin and spending as much time as possible painting outside and soaking in the beauty of the tulips and iris blooming in the garden.

It has been so inspiring to see what everyone has been creating and sharing in my new online class Happy Painting – A Mini Course. I just adore the positive and supportive community.

Here is a new video sneak peek at one of the class projects… I hope you enjoy it!

I just discovered your website through Christy’s she art class. I love your work! I’ve just started dabbling in mixed media and in the last couple of weeks created my first mixed media pieces. Very fun! The first thing I did was paint a laundry girl over my tired old laundry room decoration. Just posted her here: http://stampingjulie.com/2015/06/mixed-media-painting-a-new-adventure/ How can you go wrong decorating your laundry room, right?! Thanks for the inspiration!

Business For Creatives + Overcoming My Shyness

I used to be afraid to raise my hand in class. I’d learned that my ways of thinking and seeing were different from everyone else. When I shared an idea, I was often laughed at or told it was impossible. So I learned to stay quiet and be shy. When I was in the third grade we had an art project where we were supposed...

Painting Owls + Finding Your Artistic Voice

Lately I’ve been going back to painting owls. For awhile I had been creating these very renaissance-style portraits with soft, realistic faces and incredible hair. I enjoyed that I could make them look very human, but still full of magic and color. While I still adore creating these flower girls, I found that these paintings were missing something. After countless attempts in the studio, many... Continue reading

Letting Go + Developing Your Unique Style

Everyone always asks how I developed my artistic style. I have to say, style was nothing I intentionally developed. It was just the thing that happened when I painted every day. Most often I can look at a finished painting and see that it perfectly reflects who I am in that moment… all of the quirkiness and emotion I sometimes wish I could hide. But... Continue reading

What Inspires You?

Prints, Books and Originals Available in my shop. …… I’m most inspired by nature and the feelings, emotions and stories I see around me, every day. That’s why it’s so important for me to make sure I take time, each day, to find that inspiration. In the summertime it seems easier to be inspired. My inspirations can come from something as small as a walk... Continue reading
