Julie's passion for art began at a young age, and after studying art at Colorado State University and the Colorado Institute of Art, she became a freelance fashion illustrator before transitioning to fine art, with a focus on depicting the American West. Her work has been published in over 500 galleries across the US and has been featured in over 45 national magazines, including USArt Magazine's "Top 25 prints of the Year". Julie's art captures the essence of the West, portraying a moment in time and connecting the oneness of human, land, and animal. She is currently represented by Cole Fine Art, the Leanin' Tree, and the Bradford Exchange.
