Reclaim your soul-creative life
Build an intuitive art practice that grows with you and helps you become more fully yourself.
Hi, I’m Julie,
I believe making art is one of the ways we come home to ourselves.
For over 20 years I have been helping people open up creatively through my Paint Big Live Big Intuitive Painting Workshops and my transformational creative life coaching.
Somewhere inside you know that making room for your art again could bring more aliveness, meaning, and joy to the rest of your life too. It’s about finding your way back to your own art making life and discovering what creativity wants to look like in this season of your life.
“Julie is deeply intuitive and can move with care and compassion and joyfully into spaces no one else would think to go.”
Soul-Creative Coaching
You don’t need another class.
You may not need more instruction, inspiration or ideas.
You may need a thoughtful companion who understands both the creative process and the inner work of returning.
Someone who can sit with you in the uncertainty, help you notice what’s emerging, gently challenge the patterns that get in your way, and help you make room for what matters.
What wants to come alive through you now?
That’s the question we can explore together.

Meet Julie
I’ve been finding my way back for forty years.
My own creative life has taken many forms: singer-songwriter and recording artist, creative partner and business mind behind a pottery business, intuitive painter, workshop facilitator and coach.
I’ve built creative dreams I’ve experienced burnout. I’ve changed mediums, places, and identities. I’ve had to ask myself, more than once:
What does a creative like look like now?
I’ve learned that returning to creativity doesn’t necessarily mean going back to who we were.
Sometimes it’s about discovering who we’re becoming—and finding a way for our creative self to live there.
This is the work I love.
Making room for the art life that is still yours.
“ I’m a recovering thinker. If thinking my way through life would have given me the freedom I was longing for, I might be a lawyer right now. But that’s not how things worked. My straight A’s brought me headaches. It has always been those moments of creativity and intuition that have pointed me towards my joy. “
