Beautiful Impressionistic Oil Paintings
Landscape, Floral, Figurative and Still Life
Julia has been greatly influenced by studying the work of the Impressionist Masters and artists such as John Singer Sargent and Joaquin Sorolla. Studies with nationally known artists have helped her become grounded in the use of the elements and principles of good design. For the last 30 years she has enjoyed teaching others that which is such a delight to her.

Julia is one of the founding members of Alla Prima International and is a signature member of Oil Painters of America. The artists of Alla Prima International travel the world, together and separately, painting in plein-air or painting and teaching the joys of painting in plein-air. Oil Painters of America was organized in 1991 and continues to support the advancement of outstanding representational oil painting. The members of OPA are accomplished, professional fine artists working in time honored traditional methods.
