“Julie provides such a safe and loving space to take big risks (definitely in my case) and trust the process. Her whole intuitive approach is innovative and freeing.”
“Julie's workshop was PACKED FULL of value. She was professional, knowledgeable and personable. I got so much out of her workshop. I would CERTAINLY recommend her workshops and would PROBABLY also recommend Sedona Arts Center classes based on my experience with Julie.”
"Thank you so much for the most excellent class. My heart and head have been searching for a class that would challenge me, help me think differently about my work, and give me the know-how and courage to push through the hard parts. Your positivity radiated through the class and put me on a different trajectory so I can truly love and support my glorious messes."
“Julie was fantastic! I so appreciated her patience and kindness.”
“Julie is a sensitive, respectful, knowledgeable, instructor. I value her helpful instruction and guidance and I learned so much about abstract art. She not only opened my eyes but also my soul. Thanks so much Julie.”
"As an experienced artist trying a new direction, I really appreciated that she gave us an sufficiently broad, but detailed overview of the techniques with personal guidance as we tried them. I wanted to see all the techniques she used being done, and am already using them to create more fun in my landscapes.... Loved the demo on the small touches to bring about big changes by really taking the time to 'see' the painting first.”
"She sets a wonderful, supportive, and challenging tone for the class, and it really moved me forward in my thinking and skills."
“Julie introduced me to terms and techniques that I have never encountered before. She is extremely knowledgeable and patient at the same time — what a great combination! Julie has everything so well set up and organized, that I was totally involved and could understand everything that she was saying, reviewing from her printed material and her live action methodology. I am constantly on the search for great artist who are sharing their vast knowledge. Julie definitely was a great find on the Sedona Art Center website!
“The class was very informative and fun. Julie is a great instructor.”
"I love Julie: Her art, her teaching style, and as a human being. She always makes a workshop a delightful experience."
How much time should I devote to painting? The workshop or circle can be accomplished without much outside time, but you'll get more out of it if you can devote extra time to painting outside of class.
What supplies do I need? Please click to Supplies & Setup.
How much individual attention will I get? Plenty! Class size is kept small for that reason.
What if I miss a session or need more time? Key in-class teaching content is reinforced by video and/or PDF handouts. These can be downloaded or accessed during and after the workshop to clarify anything missed. Plus, I can help you!
What support is available between sessions? You're welcome to email me with questions and paintings-in-progress. Extensive feedback may wait for class.
What if I am unhappy? If you’re not happy, I’m not happy. Let's come up with a solution!
