She was born in 1940 in the tiny lumber town of Index, Washington, and how she emerged from that environment to become such an accomplished fine artist is anyone's guess. Her adult life took her to San Jose art classes––she "trained with John Mark Briggs, who also taught Julia’s classmate, sculptor...
