In the 1990s Julia moved to Elkton MD where she was active in the Cecil County Art's council. She then moved to Chestertown MD where she enjoyed living at Heron Point for the last 20 years.

Julia loved sailing with family in Deer Isle ME and traveling to destinations where she could study beautiful paintings or snorkel. She loved the White Mountains of NH and painting its spectacular scenery. Julia became an accomplished artist capturing beautiful cloud formations, sparkling streams and tall spruce trees in her lovely watercolor paintings.
