Treasures
One of a kind
The tabs above will give you an idea of some of the types of pieces
Julie creates, but her mind is overflowing with new ideas, waiting to
be brought to life, so check back often! If you see something you
like, she can create a similair piece for you, but it will be unique in
some way. Each piece of art has a spirit and life, and should not be
diluted by being duplicated.
Requests
Julie will be happy to incorporate some basic requests in your
piece, whether it be to make it simplistic or ornate, a color theme,
or a specific photo or object to build the piece around. She will
accept your suggestions, and then apply her own artistic vision for
the end result.
Definitions
“I remember my Grandma used to teach me new words, and give
me their definition. The pictures incorporated in these frames
speak words to me, and the words and picture combine to create
an emotion that connects you to both”

where her inspiration may come from. Check back often, to see

Miniature Masters
“Growing up in the Chicago area, I was greatly influenced by visits
to the Art Institute. The Miniature Masters line was created as an
homage to the diminutive, but wonderful pieces of art in the form of
a stamp. As with any piece of art, an easel is a fine way to display
these tiny treasures.”

Stretch of Beach
“As a child, I lived along the Florida coast line. I remember long
walks on the beach, just before sundown, collecting shells. It was
the sound of the waves, the texture of the sand in my toes, and the
endless variety in the shells I found, that inspired the Stretch of
Beach line.”
Provide your own bits of beach, or Julie can supply them for you.

Bits of Glass
“Little Bits of Glass, was inspired by my Grandmother’s love of
jewelry, and a small little blue flower called Forget-Me-Not.
Incorporating representations of these tiny flowers, bits of glass,
and a bit of wire work, these pieces came to life in the form of
earings and necklaces.”
