Julee Hutchison was born in a suburb north of Chicago. She attended college in Ohio and lived 23 years in Arizona. Shortly after moving to Phoenix, Julee met her husband, Steve, a copywriter, and together they started their own graphic design and writing business. Julee began to take classes at the Scottsdale Artists’ School and eventually enrolled in a number of week-long workshops instructed by exceptional guest artists. Her love of nature and animals led her to plein air landscape painting. It was this love for nature that was a critical part of her and her husband’s decision to move to Telluride, Colorado. Julee paints plein air with the wonderful spirit of Roxie, their beloved St. Bernard and hopes this year to bring Sterling, their new addition to the family, to her outdoor painting adventures. .

Julee is currently exhibiting with the Telluride Gallery of Fine Art, Telluride, Colorado and the Scottsdale Fine Art Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona.
