They enrolled her in summer art day camp programs, supported her when she took art classes in junior high and high school and encouraged her to train musically as well. \u201cMy voice was my musical instrument,\u201d Wilmot says, \u201cand all throughout junior high, high school and college I had a great fondness for participating in musical performance and dance.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50434\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50434\" class=\"wp-image-50434\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cover-Artist_-Julie-Wilmot-Blooming-Good-Time.-Julie-Wilmot-artist.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"290\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-50434\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blooming Good Time. Julie Wilmot, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While enrolled at The University of Texas in Austin, she put aside art classes, however, graduating with a B.S. in communication and leadership. After college, she began working in advertising in Dallas, her job entailing public relations, marketing, promotions and large-scale event planning. After five years, she began working as a volunteer, chairing a large charity event that raised funds for the Dallas Museum of Art, Sammons Cancer Center and other organizations, until her children came along, after which she took on leadership roles at Lovers Lane United Methodist Church, a Dallas church of 5,000 members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy oldest son was diagnosed with a developmental delay when he was four years old,\u201d Wilmot says. \u201cThat journey in parenting took me into the world of consulting with families raising children with special needs, which then led to becoming the admissions and marketing director at a Dallas private school for children with developmental delays. I consulted with the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas to help establish a Special Needs Initiative and eventually became the project director for a grant from the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities. Other than doing graphic art as part of my job, I wasn\u2019t actively involved in art.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Almost four years ago, her husband Phil retired and the couple moved to Western North Carolina, where Wilmot says, \u201cI started to rekindle my love of art. A friend suggested I experiment with alcohol ink, and I did. It\u2019s been my way of expressing my creativity ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50433\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50433\" class=\"wp-image-50433\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cover-Artist_-Julie-Wilmot-Along-the-Sunshine-Highway.-Julie-Wilmot-artist.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cover-Artist_-Julie-Wilmot-Along-the-Sunshine-Highway.-Julie-Wilmot-artist.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cover-Artist_-Julie-Wilmot-Along-the-Sunshine-Highway.-Julie-Wilmot-artist-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cover-Artist_-Julie-Wilmot-Along-the-Sunshine-Highway.-Julie-Wilmot-artist-1024x692.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cover-Artist_-Julie-Wilmot-Along-the-Sunshine-Highway.-Julie-Wilmot-artist-768x519.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cover-Artist_-Julie-Wilmot-Along-the-Sunshine-Highway.-Julie-Wilmot-artist-810x547.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cover-Artist_-Julie-Wilmot-Along-the-Sunshine-Highway.-Julie-Wilmot-artist-1140x770.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-50433\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Along the Sunshine Highway. Julie Wilmot, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>She likes working with alcohol ink for the give-and-take between medium and artist. \u201cEvery experience is an experiment that requires me allowing the ink to do its thing while I try to do mine,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s a process of collaboration and cooperation, and for a self-proclaimed control freak, alcohol ink has taught me to let go.\u201d Sometimes she will approach the paper with a piece in mind, but usually the alcohol ink will take her in another direction. \u201cSo, I compromise,\u201d she says, \u201cand it typically ends up much better than I had envisioned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To dilute, blend and manipulate the alcohol inks, Wilmot uses isopropyl alcohol in dropper bottles, spray bottles and fine needle-tip bottles as well as hair dryers, an airbrush and straws. \u201cSometimes I\u2019ll use a paintbrush to achieve certain effects,\u201d she says, \u201cbut for the most part I rely on moving air to manipulate the alcohol ink.\u201d The final step is sealing the work with spray varnish. Besides special papers from India used in her work, she has also applied alcohol ink to glass tabletops, plates, ceramic tile and glass ornaments.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50436\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50436\" class=\"wp-image-50436\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cover-Artist_-Julie-Wilmot-Emerging.-Julie-Wilmot-artist.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cover-Artist_-Julie-Wilmot-Emerging.-Julie-Wilmot-artist.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cover-Artist_-Julie-Wilmot-Emerging.-Julie-Wilmot-artist-238x300.jpg 238w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cover-Artist_-Julie-Wilmot-Emerging.-Julie-Wilmot-artist-813x1024.jpg 813w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cover-Artist_-Julie-Wilmot-Emerging.-Julie-Wilmot-artist-768x967.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cover-Artist_-Julie-Wilmot-Emerging.-Julie-Wilmot-artist-810x1020.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cover-Artist_-Julie-Wilmot-Emerging.-Julie-Wilmot-artist-1140x1435.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-50436\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Emerging.
