Hello! My name is Julie. I’m originally from Massachusetts and currently live in Georgia. Over the years, I’ve worked as a musical theatre actress, waitress (of course!), teacher, executive assistant, and technical writer.

I love learning new things. There are always creative projects swirling around this head of mine. I’ve explored writing, singing, dancing, beading, crocheting, painting, cooking, and gardening.

I am fascinated with the creative process: what inspires people to create and how they refine their craft. Many of the arts require discipline and years of practice, while other creative pursuits are simply meant for play. Either way, these creative moments add color and light to our lives.

Jar of Color and Light is a forum for creative conversation- a creative club if you will! I want to share the ideas and projects that are inspiring me, and I want to hear from you too. Thank you for stopping by!
