**Hello... My name is Julie.** ***I am an artist that is new to the Steemit community.*** **I hope you like my work ;-)**

If someone would ask me what the statement of my art is, I would not hesitate to reply, “It is to find my voice and, in doing so, become relevant.” After years in the financial world, I realized the emptiness of what I was doing. An old desire had been put on hold. After twenty-five years of marriage, I found myself single. Realizing that there was no one but me directing my future, I decided to make a life altering move back to my true heart. In this journey that I am on, I have started to uncover the layers that have hidden me. I became, and am still, enchanted by this process. My work goes beyond just pushing down the shutter and taking a photograph. To express my artistic vision I use hundreds if not thousands of layers to create a new reality in order to express my artistic version of the picture. I also work off of clients photographs and turn them into works of art. I hope that my art speaks to you, for it is the voice that I have found.

Nice art! Welcome to Steemit. Steem on Sistah!

I love your art work! You are very talented

Hi Julie. In many ways we are similar. I have been working in a technical but traditional profession. It is well paying but I've felt hollow and empty for a number of years. I started dabbling in creative writing and poetry more as it's always been in the back of my mind. I look forward to more from you.

Cool art. Looking forward to seeing more.

Oh gosh thank you so much!

Lovely - I like your work :)
