Born and raised in New Jersey, Julie Wions discovered her love for the arts early in life, her initial focus being visual art. By the time Julie completed high school, recognition of her artistic talents had earned her multiple awards, publications, and museum exhibition displays. These achievements earned Julie a scholarship to the School of Fine Arts at the University of Hartford. Following her studies, Julie found a variety of channels through which to express her artistic passion, including private commissions and working with children at a local music and arts school. 2008 marked the launching of her online company, Creations by Julie LLC, a business that helped her to integrate many talents through the printing and marketing of her illustrations on high quality designer note cards, invitations, and other products. To satisfy her altruistic interests, Julie donates a percentage of all profits from Creations by Julie to the ALS Association, to support the fight against Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
As a Visual Artist, Julie had always had a fascination with photography. It was through this fascination that she began to feel the need to explore art from a different perspective. The long time observer of beauty had become the object, as she headed to NYC in pursuit of a commercial and print modeling career. Julie was accepted into agencies and found success booking commercial and catalogue work. It was through these experiences that Julie developed an interest in acting, and began to pursue an education through the numerous acting teachers and resources that call New York City home. Ready for the next step and a new adventure, Julie drove across the country, and currently studies with Krater Studios in Los Angeles. Here she continues her passions, as a business owner, film actress, and model. During her free time, Julie is also passionate about volunteer work, and always seeks out opportunities to make a positive difference in the lives of people in and around her community. She plans on continuing her volunteer efforts while fulfilling her dreams in the visual and performing arts.
