Julie Lynn Podsiadlik is a realist painter and photographer who lives and works in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Her beautiful works of art depict her surroundings in the gorgeous Great Lakes region and beyond.

Her distinctive style emanates beauty, peace and calm (similar to her personality) and expresses the “love of water” that Julie (a true Aquarius) and most people in Michigan share.

Picturesque Landscapes, water, scenery, and flowers abound in her work, along with paintings of beautiful buildings, marinas with boats, lighthouses, homes, cottages, and (medieval churches and buildings visited on her travels.) These show Julie’s love of architecture. She has drawn, with pencil, since childhood, sketches of homes, buildings, and gardens.

Julie has been commissioned for numerous paintings. She teaches classes to others to foster the same enthusiasm that she has for painting. To encourage a peaceful skill that we all may share.

She has received invitations to be part of several art shows. Including Grand Rapids famous “Art Prize.” She is a member of the art community and will continue to contribute beautiful paintings to share along with a desire to teach others this skill. Her family is always bewildered that Julie will pull the car over to show them a sunset or a pretty scene or the detail of a building that is just to beautiful to ignore. It is with the love of her family and friends and her eye catching a gorgeous glimpse of loveliness that she always paints with a smile.
