ooks, such as The Path to Personal Success and Freedom, Creativity Business Plan for<br />
Artists and Artists at Heart, an illustrated Children’s book entitled Chloe’s Journey, based<br />
on her own rescue dog, and embellished to tell a tale (pardon the pun.) This is the first of<br />
a series, sharing the importance and responsibility of rescuing and taking care of the little<br />
lovable creatures we adopt into our lives. This passion is why Julie donates a percentage of<br />
her commissions and royalties to No-Kill Shelters and Animal Rescue Facilities. Julie’s art is<br />
varied from landscapes, and seascapes to realistic pet portrait paintings, which is one of her<br />
favorite subjects to paint. She utilizes an assortment of mediums such as pencils, charcoals,<br />
color pencils, watercolors, acrylics, and oils. Not necessarily all at once unless she is working<br />
on a mix-medium piece. As a Certified Digital Designer, she has added this skill to her<br />
creative tool kit to bring forth imaginative visions to her book cover designs.<br />
In her spare time, she enjoys taking walks with her beloved Chloe, chasing, and playing with<br />
her rescue cat, Cali, and relishing in her garden. She prides herself in finding ways to make<br />
people smile, whether telling a story or reading a children’s book and making the characters’<br />
voices come alive. Meditation is important to her to find balance, focus, and surround herself<br />
with harmony.<br />
Lately, she has chosen Tai Chi as a form of harnessing strength, flexibility, and vigor. She<br />
loves to be dancing and listening to a variety of music--from flamenco, and classical music<br />
to alternative and dance tunes, which energize or are soothing depending on the mood or<br />
activity. Let’s not forget jazz from the likes of Jon Batiste which add the perfect soundscape<br />
to her current writing project, a cozy mystery called Bad Blood in the Bayou, set in New<br />
Orleans.<br />
