Julie Amlin Mastrantonio is an artist! If you meet her in person, I believe you will see it instantly as do those of us who know her. If you haven\u2019t met her in person, the next best thing is to check her out on Instagram @julieamlin.art \u2026 This woman IS AN ARTIST. \n\nBut it\u2019s only recently that she has been able to claim that identity, and really step into its power. Her journey to arriving here now as a full-time artist and muralist is the focus of our conversation today. We have a candid discussion about limiting beliefs, the influences of the people and environments in which we grow up on our perception of what\u2019s possible for us and the toll mothering can take on a woman\u2019s creative mojo. \n\nThe twists and turns in Julie\u2019s journey mirror my own in that her path to following her inspiration has been no straight line! But also like my own, each step has taken her closer to the place she stands today: strong and confident in her identity as an artist and muralist.
