Julie Davis is a native of West Texas, with a background in law and journalism. In 2006, she began to fulfill her lifelong desire to paint, beginning coursework at The Art School at the Austin Museum of Art, where she continues to study. Julie values painting as a daily exercise, and creates a new painting most days.

     She paints both en plein air and in the studio, focusing on landscapes and still lifes. Her work has been exhibited in multiple juried shows in Austin, Texas, and is currently available at Wendow Fine Living in Austin. Julie is a graduate of Baylor University and Baylor Law School, and lives in Austin with her husband, Ben, and their three daughters.

     “Painting completes my adoration for the land and nature; for its long views and open spaces. Capturing scenes of life's quieter places allows me to transform the overlooked into something worthy of pause. An intimate relationship with my subject occurs naturally as I study its form and tell its story. My hope is to challenge my viewer to momentarily hold in esteem the often subtle treasures around us.”
