I am an artist. I have always been an artist, despite a 22 year detour through engineering college and a high-tech career in California. While I’m not at the beginning of my art career, I’m beginning this blog to share with you - art collectors, artists, and others - the many thoughts, questions, and musings that surround this wonderful, perplexing, passionate journey.
I will continue to publish my monthly Artzine with news, events, new images, etc. in a tidy email package. This blog serves as a place for us to discuss art in a messier, less digested form. I think about art, my paintings, and what the hell I’m doing (often with question marks) at least 600 times a day…there might be a nugget or two a week that will interest others as well.
Painting: “Illumination”, 20×30 - winner of the 2002 Arts for the Parks $50,000 Grand Prize, and my kick in the butt from the Universe to become a full time artist.

Hi Julie
Wow I have the honor of being the first to comment on your blog! I think you will really enjoy blogging (I have done it for a year and a half) and predict your blog will become very popular.
Take care,
Toni

Toni - thank you! I hope your popularity prediction is right. It’s like having a daily or weekly art conversation, which could definitely be kind of addictive!

Questions and conversation are what this blog is for! I envision it as a bit of an art cafe, with folks stopping in to have a bite and discuss/argue/ask questions about art.

Enjoyed you work. You may have crossed paths with a friend of mine Krystii Melaine. I’ve been adding some of my interactions with wildlife in my blog http://wildpainter.blogspot.com/ that I thought might amuse you.

I recently wanted to tell a gal who was vacationing in Sedona and Scottsdale just where she could find your artwork. Is there any gallery in that neighborhood (AZ) that’s smart enough to display them?

Jean, you betcha! Legacy Contemporary (part of Legacy Gallery) in Scottsdale shows my work - they’re right at the intersection of the two main drags there in Scottsdale (Scottsdale and Main) in the heart of the gallery district.

I wish to express appreciation to the writer for bailing me out of such a condition. After checking through the the web and coming across suggestions that were not helpful, I thought my life was over. Existing devoid of the solutions to the problems you have fixed as a result of the report is a serious case, and the kind which could have adversely affected my entire career if I had not noticed your blog post. Your good ability and kindness in touching every aspect was excellent. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t discovered such a stuff like this. I can now look forward to my future. Thank you so much for your expert and sensible guide. I will not be reluctant to refer your blog post to anyone who should get guidance on this subject.

How do I restore my computer to an earlier time?

You can definitely see your enthusiasm in the paintings you write. The world hopes for more passionate writers such as you who aren’t afraid to say how they believe. All the time go after your heart.

Is there a computer program that will automatically start other programs?
