Opening reception

Saturday, July 6th from 11am - 3pm

Julie Leidel has been painting for over 25 years. In 1997, Leidel earned a degree in Graphic Design from Colorado State and worked in the field until becoming a full-time artist in 2013. However, it wasn’t until she discovered the Arts & Crafts Movement that she truly felt she found her artistic voice, which is why she was honored to be granted the title Roycroft Renaissance Artisan in 2016.

Leidel currently lives with her husband and two children in Evergreen, Colorado. She is a member of the Roycrofters-at-Large Association, Evergreen Artists Association, an active board member for the Colorado Arts & Crafts Society, and exhibits her work nationally. She strives to creatively translate nature, architecture and beauty into artwork for the Craftsman-style home.

When she’s not painting, you can find Leidel practicing photography, ceramics, playing guitar and harp, and climbing the fabulous 14,000 ft. peaks of the Colorado High Country.
