Julie Christine Phillipps has been painting with watercolors since she was a child in Toledo, Ohio. She inherited her artistic ability–along with most of her brushes–from her grandfather, Frank Phillipps, who was a local artist.

Growing up, Julie spent countless hours in the galleries and classrooms of the Toledo Museum of Art, and went on to receive a bachelor’s degree in art and theater from Hope College in Holland, MI. She then moved to Boston to earn her Masters’ degree from Emerson College. After graduation, Julie spent two years as faculty at Emerson, teaching mask making—another one of her favorite media.

Now located in West Hartford, CT, Julie teaches classes in watercolor painting and drawing. “I’m drawn to watercolors because of the looseness and energy they allow,” she says. “To me, a successful painting is one that balances the technique and control of the artist, with the natural fluidity of the watercolor paint.”

In addition to portraiture, Julie’s favorite subjects include flora, shells and fish.
