“The West -its landscape,
history and people have
always moved me in my art
and writing, but so have other
places in my travels. We truly
live on an amazing planet!"

Julia Kelly has always lived near the mountains of Colorado. Born in Boulder,
living in Aspen, her family eventually settled in Loveland, where many days were
spent following her brother up the foothills, behind their grandmother cabin.
Moving to the Southwest part of the state, she received her Art Degree from
Fort Lewis College in Durango, where she found her true loves- the rugged
San Juan Mountains, a slower pace of life and someone to share it with.
Today, with her husband Jon, they live "a rock's throw" from the Four Corners
of Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico and are introducing their girls
not only to the wonders of the mountains, but also the canyons and deserts just
outside their door. Although classically trained, she is exploring another
childhood pursuit of creating with fabric and thread to find her medium of
expression in "fabric collage" and putting a new spin on a traditional American
art form." Stories" is something else she is exploring, inspired by the places
and people around her.
