Painter and sculptor, Julie V, was born in Reynosa, Tamualipas, Mexico. She grew up on ranchos in the area as a member of a prominent and prosperous family. In her early 20's, her family's fortunes changed and she began a career in retail, moving to McAllen, Texas. After the birth of her daughter, Julie turned her retail sales job into a management career, moving her family to Houston, Texas.

Julie grew up with personal drive and an artist's eye. As she retired from her retail career, she used her time to explore her artistic passion. After establishing her studio at Winter Street in Houston, she moved from acrylic paintings to resin work, resin castings, assemblages, and sculptures. Her bold use of colors and employment of found objects juxtaposes primal feelings and consumerism, idealism and reality. Julie enjoys exploring her ideas of history and culture in new and creative ways.
