It’s through Julia’s world and life’s journey and experiences I have come to know that every day is a unique blessing and should be celebrated to its fullest, from the smallest accomplishments to the biggest. I invite you to learn more about her and discover her story today.
Julia is the sole inspiration behind this section on the website and its creation. She and her journey are 100% of my life and another 100% is my creative processes, my art, and the bits of my heart and soul that go into each piece I create. Our wish is, we hope you find the blending of these two worlds, motivating, and inspiring to see the light along whatever path you may be on. I promise there is light. I’ve learned we have to look for it and be open to walking through the darkness and shadows to reach it.
