Julie Barta

Julie Barta is an award winning artist whose paintings have brought both wildlife and fanciful images to life for over 30 years. She has recently taken a big step into a new art form - writing and illustrating her first children's book, Good Night, I Love You. Blessed with three grown children and six grandchildren, Julie firmly believes that through all of life's ups and downs, love abides. Julie and her husband Michael live in small town Minnesota on a farmstead that has been in the family for over 100 years. They enjoy the country life along with a variety of farm animals and pets. If you don't find Julie painting or writing, you may find her feeding the chickens or out on the trail with her trusty steed Whinny.

If the last words you want to hear each night are "Good Night, I Love You," Julie's first little book will warm your heart and remind you that love never fails.
