Julie , her family and some of her other interests
Julie, about her family "Both my parents appreciated creativity and while they could play the piano and had some creative sides they did not really use them. My mother's father, however, was a commercial artist
and photographer in the 20s and the 30s
and apparently did some amazing things.
My father's brother was an up and coming musician, playing with some major Big Band individuals when he was killed in WWII".
She is married to her soulmate Dave, who makes the jewelry for her wonderful sculptures.
Dave also made the beautiful necklace Julie wore on her wedding day.
"We have been married for 2 years now and I have 5 kids (27,
26, 22, 11, and 7), obviously from the past! We have 5 goats, numerous rabbits (for food), chickens, a horse, koi fish, a few
cats
(never sure how many as some come and go out here in the middle of nowhere), 3 dogs, a guinea pig, toads, and probably other things too".
Julie has been producing her own
cheese for her family and uses the milk
of her own goats.
She creates miniatures and enjoys making miniature gypsy wagons. She is currently
working on some fantasy woodland gourd wagons .
Julie and her family live in the
high desert of NM, 7500 ft, and 14 miles
from the nearest gas station or store.
