Julie Rodriguez is a wife, a mother of four, and a proud mom to four fur babies, with a heart full of gratitude for her life and family. Her love for art started early, back in kindergarten when she discovered the joy of finger painting. Over the years, she embraced every opportunity to explore her creativity, signing up for art classes in everything from ceramics to sign language to art history.

Life took her on different paths—marriage, a career in insurance, and raising children—and art took a backseat for a while. But when her kids left the nest, Julie rediscovered her love for painting, this time with acrylics.
