Julie Rogers was born in Goshen, Utah, with a natural love for art. As a
small child she drew constantly, concentrating her talents on her passion for
horses. She grew up on her family’s working cattle ranch where a typical summer
day would see her cutting and baling hay and working with the ranch livestock.
Julie cherishes this lifestyle and often depicts it in her work. Julie served a full-time mission in Boise, Idaho and graduated from Brigham
Young University. She currently paints professionally as well as teaches
part-time for Dixie College. As a professional artist, Julie loves to paint the
simple things of everyday life. Her work has received many awards and is
currently exhibited in the Church Museum of History and Art. Julie is the mother of five children, three boys and two girls. Because of
her own experience, she desires to comfort mothers who had lost their little
ones. Giving hope and comfort has always been Julie’s goal. What sets Julie
apart from other artists is her unique ability to capture the light of the soul
in her paintings. Julie says, “Children are my favorite subjects as they portray innocence,
purity, and sincere inquisitiveness that is unique to their age. I only pray
that as an artist, I may stir the heart of the viewer to a heightened sense of
peace and joy.” Julie has always been especially drawn to the stories of the pioneers. As
she got married and became a young mother she would dress her children in
pioneer clothing and in the soft glow of the evening she would paint. Through
the joy and the tears of her own life she has been able to more fully
understand the pioneers she paints. Julie’s passionate portrayal of the
pioneers, their sacrifices and triumphs, is truly masterful and inspiring. Her
purpose is to help us learn what it is they can teach us.
