About Julie

Big Fish....

Welcome to my website and painting blog!  Although I do some oil painting and watercolor as well, most of my paintings are done using traditional chalk pastels.

Having spent my childhood in the Hudson River Valley and as a Connecticut resident for the past 29 years, I focus on painting landscapes of local scenes of New England and the East Coast.  (I also have a little thing for the Southwest.)  Although largely self-taught, I have had the privilege of studying with such accomplished painters as Daniel James Keys, Albert Handell, Doug Dawson, Bob Rohm, Richard McKinley, Gene Cadore and Clayton Beck.

Please feel free to leave me a comment about any of the paintings on the blog as I LOVE feedback, or you can email me if you have any questions about any of them! Enjoy-

    Hi Julie – So sorry to read about your ankle! Sometimes these things happen so we have to stay still, right? Jeff and I are planning to take the beach glass on the coastal roads, so maybe we’ll see you at a show. As always, I love your work. A few years back I bought the clam shells and they are spectacular. Now I have to get the geraniums I think. Be well – J and J Behrens

    hi, Jeannie-nice to hear from you. The Geraniums painting is really special – so am glad you like it too! Hope to see you soon – good luck with the biz (I’m a huge fan, as you know!) – Julie
