About Julie’s work:

My inspiration and passion is found in the natural world, and daily life.   Printmaking, especially Etching provides opportunity for detail, texture and surprises . . . all which I adore! I have enjoyed art, gardening, and the changing seasons all my life.  My husband and I live quietly with our fun and mellowing dog, Ruby in south central Wisconsin.

Etchings are made using a wide variety of techniques to produce an image below the surface of a metal plate.   Making the metal plate is involved, but once finished, the plate is inked up and printed one by one on an etching press.  Each print dries for several days under weight and then I work with color on the dried print.
