Hello! My name is Julie Behm and I am the artist behind Quirky Dame Designs. You can call me Julie, Jewels or even Quirky!  I love laughter, color and whimsical things. I’m a bookworm and always have at least one book, as well as my sketchpad and iPhone, with me wherever I go.  Art is my therapy.

Since childhood, one of my greatest joys has been my art. I would spend hours, crayon in hand, creating the people and worlds that inhabited my imagination, seeing them come to life on the pages before me. I strive to do that very same thing now except with paintbrush and canvas. I use both oils and acrylics to create images that are colorful, fun, and whimsical, often with a spark of humor or quirkiness.

If you'd like to read some of my musings about art and the latest happenings in my life, or check out my latest works in progess, please visit my blog.  If you are interested in viewing my art, please click on the Art link above, where I list my current Etsy offerings.  Please note that I do accept custom orders according to my schedule.  If you are interested in working with me to create a special painting just for you, I'd love to hear from you.
