My Most Successful Solo Show at Church of the Nativity in Leawood
At Church of the Nativity 119th Leawood KS, Oct-Dec. 2023
Julie celebrated her return to the parish where she spent 17 years teaching art. She's filled the church hall with over 50 works of art.
The community rewarded her well with the most sales and attendance of any other of her shows.
A HUGE thank you to all my old friends, former Nativity students, their parents, and co-workers, who shared memories, gratitude and support of both careers, past and present.

...Right off the walls!
Nativity Parish School teaching creativity welcomes back the art teacher that began when the school began. From its founding to 2007, Julie's taught grades 1st - 8th art. Now she shares her new direction in creativity, as a digital artist. Julie artfully alters her photographs, and those of her patrons, into "paintings" in the art historic styles she once taught her students.
From impressionism, to pop art, baroque to Realism, Julie uses the subjects of her photographs to decide which approach to take, giving her collection many unique perspectives.

Julie's Inspiration
Reborn with alterations!
Imagine viewing a photograph so dramatically altered digitally, that the original image is lost in transformed impressionistic colors, or pop- art edges, or post modern abstractions. One might wonder, "How was this art made? Was their ever a photograph?" Like artists throughout art history that have altered what defines the concept of art, Flanagan inspires an examination of the question, "Is traditional style art still valid if it's digital?"
Julie Flanagan's unexpected slant on reinterpreted photos was born directly out of the sudden altering her lifestyle. An unwelcome change that would become a serendipitous consideration of combining the concepts of art and change, as they relate to preconceived notions about art.
Commission Your Photo Into a Work of Art
I find great joy in memorializing memories by transforming your photos into artworks that can enhance a space and be enjoyed every day. Choosing styles from impressionistic to pop art, from watercolor to pen and ink, I'll collaborate with you to create a lovely piece to commemorate your moment.
