Growing up in Rotterdam in a creative family with two grandfathers as architects, Julie developed her love for drawing and painting . It all began with portrait drawing , 'seeking a moment of calm' where she could lose herself in her imagination. Julie finds peace in nature, especially by the sea or while walking through dunes. Painting is her 'escape', where thoughts and emotions come together on the canvas. The process is essential : it starts with deep colors and large brushes, free from rules, followed by layers of materials like sand, linen, and cotton to create textures. The result is a chaotic balance of calmness.
