Julie’s favorites
So many avenues in art! It’s hard to pick one and say “that’s my thing!” My favorite changes with the wind, or the season, or the day. Mediums Not having any formal training beyond grade school “specials” art class and a community summer program when I was 9, I have floated around the art universe […]

Northeast Ohio Artisans
November 2020 Pieces included “Kayak Beach at Tutka Bay” watercolor and ink, “From the mountains to the sea” acrylic painted Tom’s shoes, and “Goose Island at Glacier NP” photograph.
Skye and C.P.F.C
Watercolor and Ink commission from two photos a friend took. One of the Isle of Skye, the other of Selhurst Park – the home of the Crystal Palace F.C. Eagles. I knew I managed a pretty good likeness when my friend’s partner recognized the scene from the Isle of Skye without being told!

CLE Photo Fest: Dear Diary
Photo included in the “For Women Only: Dear Diary” gallery in Cleveland Photofest 2021 on display for the month of May 2021 at the Bostwick Design Center, Cleveland.
Wooden Signs
These signs take a bit of work from cutting the waves to sanding down the rough wood. But I like how they come out!! My favorite sign definitely is the “Sheräge” sign… get it? She-räge? Like Ga-räge… but for she! Like man-cave… or she-shed. HA!

FAAL Gallery and Art Show
This was such a great experience over the Halloween weekend this year. Gallery, vendor table, and lots of picking artist’s brains! Also, I got an Honorable Mention for my “All that Glitters is Paris!” submission!! SO PUMPED.
2021 Commissions
This year was pretty loaded, in terms of commissions! It was a learning curve to figure out how to manage all of them with a kiddo. Chalkboards at Union Town Provisions, Lorain, OH. Custom Paris and cherry blossom shoes. My math Toms were requested!! Whaaaat. Amazing. I also made Physics, Comp Sci, and Animal Cell […]
Book Binding
A photo essay. I’m in love. Morgan Paper Conservatory, Cleveland, Ohio.
Colors of Spring: Artist’s Open Studio 2022
This spring, the Artist’s Open Studio in Norwalk had their spring gallery called “Colors of Spring.” It is always a wonderful combination of student work and professionals, side by side. I contributed my piece called “the road was long and often narrow” that was inspired by an older photo of mine that had “aged out […]
“From Lorain, with Love”
My first mural ever! I think it came out pretty well! Full background story here.
Chalk Competition on a Whim
While in Woodstock, VT for a wedding of a dear friend, it turned out the town was having their annual “Taste of Woodstock” block party on the same weekend. Since we had no part in the ceremony and didn’t have to be there until 4pm, Joshy and I wandered around Elm Street only to come […]

Send me an email at Julie@nessbyjulie.art for more details! Also pretty excited about this reel I made about it on Instagram as well.
FAAL October 2022 Show
This year was a strong year for me! As usual, the FAAL show allowed 5 entries, and of my five pieces, FOUR OF THEM got awards! Two second place, one third, and one honorable mention! (As my 2.5 year old says, “How fun is THAT?!?!”) This year I, again, had a table but new this […]
Bourbon Barrel Heads
My in-laws LOVE bourbon. On their last trip to Kentucky, they brought back a few barrel heads for me to paint and they came out GREAT. Check it out!
