Julie. Oh, Julie. She’s a hoot. She’s the friend who will skinny-dip at midnight with her friends on a trip. I think she told me she was on “Gulls Gone Wild” in the early 90s. Julie doesn’t mind being loud and proud and is always happy to take up space. She is happy with her body and with who she is…life is short! Everyone likes Julie and wants to be her friend…and she is SUCH a good friend. Julie reminds us to accept ourselves as we are and to live life to the fullest. She also reminds us that it’s ok to be silly sometimes; life is too short to worry about every little thing.

ARTIST STATEMENT
“The Uncaged” is a collection of original contemporary abstract paintings featuring realistic bird renderings to illustrate the concept of the “un-caging” of women. They may be oppressed or abused for part of their lives; later to break free to go on and flourish— to be their authentic selves.They are full of personality and color…truly unique. I think about how women couldn’t even have their own lines of credit until the mid-seventies...I realize so many must have felt trapped as they stuffed themselves into a figurative box to please a spouse or others. These works are a tribute to those powerful inner spirits and personalities that won’t be caged again!
My birds represent un-caged women embracing their inner strength, sparkle, and authenticity. The crown symbols represent the fact we are all perfectly made…no matter what we were told or how we may feel. There is life after abuse, oppression and neglect...we are all rare birds finding our colors.
