Sharing my friend Julie’s Awakening Journal today, because her work—and the person behind it—deserves to be celebrated. 💛
Julie is a local Huntsville artist, illustrator, mom, wonderful friend, and one of the smartest people I know. She is kind, supportive, and someone who makes our art community better simply by being part of it.
One thing that surprised me about the art world was how much jealousy and tearing each other down exist in a space built around creativity. Over the years, I’ve learned to give that negativity less of my attention and bring people like Julie closer.
Because significance lives in the difference we make in someone else’s life. And Julie makes a difference through her art, her heart, her children’s books, her architecture work, and the love she gives her family and friends.
She is all the things I want to celebrate in the art world: skill, intelligence, generosity, and heart.
Take a look at her Awakening Journal, explore her work, and help me show this wonderful Huntsville creative some love. Follow JulieMStudios✨ for all the reasons and you’ll see what I see.
