About Julie

  I’m Julie Bonner, the artist behind Julie Originals, where I combine fine art painting and storytelling to celebrate the Sonoran Desert. I create products, such as my award-winning Desert Dwellers Flash Cards, as well as prints, greeting cards, and gifts that inspire kids and adults to connect with local wildlife.

I’ve been practicing art and design for over 20 years, and my favorite part is the creative process! Bringing ideas from sketches to finished pieces that spark smiles. I also share that love by teaching design and entrepreneurship at Pima Community College and the University of Arizona, helping the next generation of creatives grow in our community.
