LocationElyria, Ohio
Hi, I’m Julie.
Custom art, murals, and face painting in Elyria, Ohio.
Julie paints just about anything that will hold paint. Canvas, yes, but also slices of wood with the bark still on, and old CDs that throw the light around once they are broken up.
A lot of her work is other people's animals. You send her a photo and back comes the cat, or the rooster, or the pair of them with their green eyes, small enough to sit on a shelf.
The rest of the time she is out of the studio. Lettering a shop window, running pumpkins and sunflowers across a storefront for the season, working at an easel in the middle of a street festival while people stop and watch, or sat at a folding table with a line of kids waiting to be turned into something.
She works out of Elyria and travels about an hour for the jobs that need her there.
The practice
What I work in
Acrylic Paintings
Canvas and board, built up in layers until the color does what I want.
Graphite Portraits
Pencil work. Faces, hands, and whatever else holds still long enough.
Mixed Media
Old CDs and anything else I can get paint to stick to.
Murals
Storefront windows and walls. Seasonal work and the permanent kind.
Face Painting
Markets, festivals, birthdays. Anywhere there’s a line of kids.
Booking
How it usually goes

You tell me the idea
Subject, size, date, headcount, whatever applies. Vague is fine, I’m used to it.
- Then
I send a price
Usually within a day or two, with a real number and a timeline.
- After that
I get to work
Progress photos if it’s a commission, or your date goes on the calendar if it’s an event.
