Julie Adriansen is a water colrist living in Vail, Colorado. Her style of painting is simple. She embraces color and simple bold images. As a lover of people and animals of all kinds, she puts their images on paper using th ecolors she sees when she looks at them, hoping that those are the same colors they see in themselves. Julie's goal is always to stir up teh same feelings in her audience that she feels when she is painting her subjects.
