Julia is a mixed-media pencil artist who loves drawing animals of all kinds. She leans toward realism in her drawing style and has been commissioned to memorialize numerous beloved pets.
In fact, Julia is fascinated with all of God’s creatures and strives to portray a different perspective than what is typically seen. Julia wants each creature to bring an element of personal discovery for the viewer, so she has started sharing the inspiration stories for each of her wildlife drawings on her website blog page. She believes that sharing the background story for each art piece creates a more immersive experience and, most importantly, invites the viewer into a deeper relationship with our Creator.

Julia is a juried member of the Oxford Artist Guild in Oxford, Mississippi, and a juried member of the Greater St. Louis Artists (GSLA) in St. Louis, Missouri.
