Creations By Jul - Julie Vansickle A place were art and fun collide! Looking for a fun class or a gift for a special person? Email me 😃 Julie Vansickle was born and raised in Coshocton, Ohio.

Her father was a veteran, hair salon owner and stylist and her mother was an art teacher. This gave her a wide exposure to a variety of fine arts and crafts at an early age. Julie’s love for art has continued to grow over her lifetime. Her favorite mediums are graphite, acrylic and watercolor paints. She enjoys painting animals, people and landscapes. Julie draws her inspiration from nature and he

r family. Many of her paintings have personal stories as inspiration (either her own or her clients’ stories). Julie and her husband, John, have been married for 39 years. They raised their three kids on their family farm in Adamsville, Ohio and now enjoy eleven grandkids. She just recently started doing paint pouring fluid art and is finding that to be a lot of fun. She has done all sorts of crafts including hand quilting, cross stitching, wood working, jewelry making and has fun creating things out of odds and ends. She sells giclée prints and also does commissioned work. Julie enjoys doing painting parties and teaching others the joy that can be found in creating art.

Oscar, what a sweet dog he was. I’m glad I had the opportunity to paint his portrait in 2012, hard to believe it’s been so many years ago now that he passed away, RIP Oscar 2016.

Office door decorating contest, I found a cute one online and created one similar but not exactly, Santa doesn’t have eyes so you can stand behind the door and get a selfie taken 🤭. There were several fun and creative entries but the one that won was a door that wasn’t decorated because that person didnt want to participate in the optional contest, so it was just their blank door, now keep in mind it was a group of teens who were voting on the doors and they thought putting the majority of the votes on that blank door was pretty funny. 😆 We all had fun and will be able to enjoy them for a few weeks anyways 😁The post-it-notes represent votes 🤣

I WAS ONCE ASKED WHY I BECAME A TEACHER.

I became a teacher so I could help inspire kids to be the best they could be, no matter what form that took on, as everyone is a unique individual, to instill positive self-esteem so they could gain confidence in themselves and a positive outlook on their futures ahead. Many kids I worked with had obstacles to overcome or adapt to, either personally or as part of their home dynamics; some were educationally challenged while others were excelling far beyond the others their age. The joy it gave me to see that glisten of hope spark up in their eyes once they realized they too can rise above and accomplish special things or learn how to share their unique talents with others so that positive collaborations happen and flow forward to help others, to have students actually “find themselves” feeling special, appreciated, and valued for who they truly are, not having to hide behind stereotypical masks anymore; that to me is what teaching is all about. It’s one thing to teach the 123’s and ABC’s but it’s another level to teach them to value themselves and others in the process, to honor and respect others but most of all have respect for themselves.
I use the same philosophy when teaching people how to create art. It is so rewarding to see, especially adults that thought they couldn’t draw a stick person, work through the creative process as I’m teaching each step and seeing their understanding and even posture improve because they are realizing they can achieve the goal way better than they had anticipated. Seeing them leave the class with a smile and gratitude in their heart fills me with joy. God gifts us all with unique talents, and sharing those talents with others can sometimes help to reveal and inspire others towards realizing theirs.

Surprisingly cool photo just doing a fast point and shoot on my drive home of the moon, it was absolutely beautiful tonight. iPhone 16 Pro around 6:30 pm Dresden Ohio USA
I was shocked when I got home and saw the composition and effects! I literally lifted my phone and snap a shot one handed while driving. I really like the effect the auto focus gave and how it processed such depth. And that opening in the clouds I couldn’t have timed right if my life depended on it! I’ll be keeping this one 😁🤣

OMGosh! These turned out so well, love how the sealer spray made the colors look richer as I had expected. I have to add the tree lights yet but didn’t want to wait to post pics.
Rust Decor Pop In & Paint is closing down their business so they are having good sales now, I purchased a few ceramic pieces and a couple wood signs to do with my kids and grandkids that like painting. I’m so happy we found this place and got to experience the lovely employees that were so nice and we had a really enjoyable time painting there. Will miss this place.

Kinda arts and crafts time 🤣
I made a stencil and cut out light gray Oceanboard decking to add some grip to the floor of the fishing kayak. This is the area behind the seat, I have to cut out the parts that will go in front of the seat yet. Not too shabby for my first time doing this, I like the design 😃.

What fun creating with clay! Here are 5 of 6 items I made using a pottery wheel for the first time. Lots of practice is needed to get good at this for sure, but I like what I created and look forward to learning more from Julie Schmid Goodall at her art studio Julie's ARTery 😃
