Julie Frederick, a multi-talented artist, has recently ventured into the professional art world. Julie's artistic journey spans her entire life, and three years ago, she embarked formally on her painting path under the wing of the esteemed Western artist, Pat E. Baker.

In her professional life, Julie serves as a clinical therapist with a specialization in crisis and trauma. Together with Pat, she initiated weekly art classes, creating a haven where her clients can express their true selves and explore their artistic skills.

Julie's artistic repertoire thrives on her love for domestic dogs, cats, and North American wildlife. Her portfolio showcases a multitude of commissioned works, a realm she deeply cherishes. Commissioned pieces allow her to breathe life and personality into her paintings, crafting cherished heirlooms for pet owners. She is currently open to commission requests and harbors ambitions of honing her skills further, particularly in the realm of oil painting.

Beyond her artistry, Julie also presides over two unique businesses. "Northern Latitudes Gardens" specializes in innovative, waterproof vases crafted to house her home-grown flower arrangements. Julie grows hundreds of Dahlias in her hoop-house and creates vibrant colorful floral arangements. You can purchase these floral arangements most weekends at the Kalispell Farmers Market.

"Slammin' Jams" represents Julie's second Kalispell-based venture, co-founded with her husband as a retirement project. Their jams pay homage to cherished family recipes, blending high-quality liqueurs and specialty spices with organic fruit and natural cane sugar to produce an exquisite and decadent fruity essence. Julie's inspiration for these delectable creations traces back to her childhood, helping her mother prepare jams from homegrown produce, preserving the essence of summer in a jar. The recipes behind Slammin' Jams, reminiscent of vintage traditions involving Everclear liquor for fruit preservation, took a leap forward, resulting in a tantalizing and unparalleled fruity flavor.
