Welcome to JulieBird Art

Slow down. Breathe. Feel.

In a world that never stops moving, art has the power to pause time. My work is about noticing the beauty that hides in the quiet moments—the curve of a leaf, the dance of light on water, the little wonders we often rush past.

I believe art should spark something deep inside you. It should speak to you so strongly that you can’t imagine walking away without it. If you see a piece that makes your heart leap, that’s the one meant for you. If it doesn’t stir you, leave it for the person whose soul it’s waiting to meet.

For me, creating isn’t just about paint, paper, or wood—it’s about healing. I’ve faced my own storms with anxiety and depression, and art has been my anchor, my sanctuary, my voice. With every piece, I find a deeper connection to myself and to the world around me. My hope is that my art offers you the same kind of grounding—a moment of stillness, a reminder to feel and to be.

In this age of screens, algorithms, and endless noise, there’s something sacred about making with our hands. The raw earth in the garden, the brush against canvas, the carving of wood—these are the places where life feels real and beautiful. That’s the energy I pour into every creation.

Explore. Connect. Heal.
Art isn’t just for walls—it’s for hearts.

Take your time wandering through my collections. Find the piece that speaks to you. And when you bring it home, may it bring you joy, comfort, and a daily reminder to slow down and savor life’s beautiful details.

Every photo tells a story—let’s tell yours.

Life moves fast. Too fast. But the moments that matter most—the quiet walks, the wag of a tail, the smile of someone you love—deserve to be remembered forever.

At JulieBird Art, I don’t just take photos; I capture feelings. Whether it’s your favorite spot in nature, a beloved pet, a meaningful portrait, or a milestone like graduation, my goal is to freeze those memories in time so you can hold onto them for years to come.

I believe photography is more than just pictures. It’s connection. It’s about seeing the beauty in everyday life—the way the sun filters through the trees, the bond between you and your pet, or the pride on a graduate’s face. These are the moments that make life rich and worth remembering.

If you’re looking for images that truly reflect you and the things you love, let’s create something meaningful together.

Let’s turn your memories into art.
Because one day, when you look back, you’ll be so glad you captured today.

JulieBird Art Takes Flight at the BEAL Center – October 2025

This October, experience the magic of JulieBird Art at one of Hayesville’s most iconic landmarks — The BEAL Center. Nestled right on the Square in charming downtown Hayesville, the BEAL isn’t just an event space — it’s a piece of living history.

Once the Clay County Courthouse, this stunning building was crafted in 1887-1888 by local craftsman Captain J.S. Anderson in classic Italianate Vernacular style — all for the grand sum of $7,800 (can you imagine?!). It proudly served the community for over a century, replacing the original wooden courthouse that tragically burned in 1870. Today, it stands beautifully restored, blending the past with the present, and making it the perfect backdrop for inspiring artwork.

Come wander through this historic treasure and discover all-new JulieBird creations — nature-inspired, soulful pieces that celebrate life in the mountains. Whether you’re a longtime collector or a first-time admirer, there’s something special waiting for you.

Mark your calendar:
When: The entire month of October 2025
Where: The BEAL Center, Downtown Hayesville, NC

Support local art, explore local history, and maybe even find that perfect piece to take home. Come see what takes flight when art meets history — and don’t leave empty-handed!

Make a day of it! Stroll the Square, grab a bite at a local café, and step inside the BEAL to experience art where history still echoes through the walls.
