Hello!

I’m Julie, a portrait artist and figurative painter. I work primarily in water based oils out of my home studio located north of Boston in Massachusetts.

As a visual artist, I am always looking for the treasures that lie beyond words. In my current work, those treasures reveal themselves as emotion and truth through quiet, subtle things such as history embedded in the lines of skin, a gentle lift in an eyebrow or depth in the eyes. It is an incredibly intimate experience to be able to look so closely at a person and such an honor to offer my own rendering of who they might be through portraiture. 

In addition to my work in front of the easel, I’ve also been fortunate to explore a wide variety of experiences within the art world including non-profit arts administration, teaching private and group drawing and painting classes, art studio management, curriculum design for visual arts, dance and theater classes, retail art gallery management and artist recruitment for exhibition.
