Juli Sibley is a free-spirited artist, teacher, and writer who lives the life of her dreams in the North Georgia mountains. Her love of beauty and the reflective life caused her to find a home studio on the edge of the forest outside a rural village. The sky, wildflowers, snow, and rain are all part of her daily life. She creates paintings, prints, batiks, and art quilts that portray the mystery and wonder of all life forms. Formal schooling includes a double major in Printmaking and Painting from LaGrange College and a Masters of Arts with a concentration in Fiber from Western Carolina University. Juli lives in a remarkable nature centered community that includes creative activities in every discipline: writers, musicians, crafts people, healers, and storytellers who make dreams come true. Juli is grateful for her teachers, her many students, and the gift of creativity that she believes to be part of everyone's Divine Inheritance. In this tradition, Juli honors her calling by sharing her creative inspirations. Juli is available for classes and workshops. You can contact her through FaceBook, Juli Sibley from Young Harris, GA.
