With the belief that the Arts are one of the most important ways people express themselves and interpret the world around them, Julie Beaudry has committed her life to teaching art in a myriad of settings. Earning a Bachelor’s Arts and Science Degree in Education from Notre Dame College, she taught in public schools for over a decade. Now, as the developer of a non-profit fostering whole health in young adults, she finds her home each summer at The Dairy Barn celebrating the creative endeavors of inspired young artists and encouraging their ability to value themselves and others.
As an artist, Julie enjoys watercolor, ceramics, and sculpture. Throughout the year she shares her passion for art and artists at her farm in Albany, blending nature, art, music, and movement to build resilience in teens and young adults. Her personal artwork, Julie’s Philosophy of Education, resume, and student work can be found in the albums section of her Facebook group called “Inspiration Generation at Wildflower Farm.”
