BIO:

Julie Tibus, a graduate of The College for Creative Studies with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, has over 17 years of professional experience in selling and exhibiting her artwork. Recently, she has opted for a nomadic lifestyle, selling everything and traveling across the United States to teach and showcase her art.  Julie's boundless curiosity drives her to experiment with emerging mediums and discover innovative techniques. Her unique creations are inspired by nature and what she sees on her travels. Teaching is her way of sharing her passion for art with others.  

ARTIST STATEMENT:
My artistic focus centers on exploring the beauty of natural form and embracing unrestricted creativity.  I am an experimental mixed media artist. I allow myself to become fully immersed in the creative process without constraints or limitations. I paint from the memory of what I have seen or sketched along my travels and spend a season exploring a specific medium or technique, usually producing 20-plus works of art.  I believe everyone possesses innate creativity, and art serves as a tool for overcoming self-imposed fears, such as fear of comparison, failure, or the unknown. I focus on teaching workshops that help beginners and seasoned artists explore new mediums, gaining insights into the various tools and learning valuable tips for success.
