Julie Drew has always been attracted to the beauty of nature—mountains, oceans, animals, and especially flowers. Early on, art became a way for her to capture and participate in that beauty. Her passion for art led to a BFA in Painting and Drawing from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA, USA in 1987. In 1997, Julie moved with her family to Edmonton, Alberta, where they now make their home. Julie continues to use her talents as president of the Emerging Artists’ Society of Alberta as well as teaching papermaking and other art lessons. Her art work and series of paintings are exhibited around Alberta.
For Julie, art is an exploration into God's creation, an adventure into the depths and nuances of color, light, shadow and shape. She uses watercolor, often combining it with the Lyra pencils, to add interesting textures and dimensions to her work. She also enjoys making and painting on her own handmade paper.
