Synopsis:
We talked about Julie's journey to find her unique voice in art and how, for a while, the public embraced her work before she did. She shared the importance and influence of her faith in creating and in giving back. She shared the beginning and subsequent success of her company Levelling Up (or LU) - delivering mentoring to emerging and aspiring artist who are ready to take the next step.
Artist Statement:
My art is strongly influenced by my faith and a belief that this big, bold, beautiful world was created by a big, bold, and beautifully creative God. Creating for me is a process of letting go and an exercise in trust. The more I trust this innate gift, the more the gift is able to grow, develop, and impact people who enjoy it. My journey as an artist is an ongoing process of change, always moving, growing and adapting. Taking life's experiences, lessons learned, truths realized and focusing the artwork through these things, like light through a magnifying glass. In this way, my artwork becomes a truly unique expression of me.
