I am a professional calligrapher with over 35 years experience. My work includes layout and design of invitations, resolutions, and various personalized commissions. Some of my clients have included the Vice President of the United States, the State Department, Crane’s Stationery, and event planners across the country.
I have always had a desire to create and much of my lettering is embellished with artwork. I have recently developed a passion for watercolor.

My love and passion for both art and nature has led me to become a fine artist, which has allowed me to express my creativity and artistic inspirations. I love to make paint dance on the canvas with bold and bright colors that represent the beauty of all the nature that surrounds us. Although I have studied art in schools such as the School of Visual arts in New York City, I am mostly a self-thought artist. I love experimenting with oils, acrylics and watercolors, however, my main choice in mediums is acrylic paints.
Julie Kraft Art was formally organized in 2012, when I started to sell prints of hobby projects I had done on my own. I experimented with methods and mediums and refined my craft. In 2019, I expanded to offer custom commissions, with clients selecting the scope, medium, and other attributes of my artwork — creating a one-of-a-kind piece for themselves or as a gift.
I am an artist living with my family in Harford County. I received a BA in fine arts from Towson University in 1998 and have my Master's in Elementary Education. Currently I am working on my portraiture technique and creating a series of paintings retelling classic fairytales.
Maryland-based artist Amy Fix earned a Master’s Degree in Fine Art in painting and has received several awards and scholarships, including the College of Graduate Studies Research and Travel Award and the Carolyn Joyner Memorial Scholarship. She has been featured in the “Exploring the Arts” magazine at Georgia Southern University. Amy exhibits nationally and has art in LaGrange Art Museum’s permanent collection. She is currently a member of Harford Artists Association, and resides in Harford County with her husband and three-year old son.
I am a self taught multimedia artisan working from my home studio in Bel Air, Maryland. After over 26 years of working in fiber, it was my desire for unique beads and buttons to use in my pieces that brought me to working with porcelain, stoneware, and earthenware clays. I began with creating beads, pendants, and buttons that I use in my handcrafted jewelry and fiber items. I have since expanded my business to include my small hand built items such as bowls, cups and mugs, wall art, garden art, mosaics, chess and backgammon games, and small sculptural pieces. I do not use molds in my work.
Vic Velour is an artist whose main medium is paint. Focusing on abstract works using unorthodox methods, he is able to transform blank canvas into a hypnotizing scene using wild compositions and negative space. His paintings pair texture and visual elements that will have you wanting to hold the pieces in your hand to truly explore their depth.
