Julie DeRice is now retired to the beautiful Sarasota Gulf Coast where he’s constantly inspired by the stunning beauty each day. Whether the inspiration comes from a magnificent sunset with a sky so full of color, a bright sunny day that warms both your body and your soul or a comic pelican as he drives mouth-wide for his dinner, DeRice always has something up his sleeves. He’s at his best when he has a paint brush in hand and extends that joy to the canvas. He hopes that his viewers will enjoy his works as much as he enjoys producing them. His works include fine art, coastal wall art, and designs painted on fabric sewn into home décor pillows. And importantly, it’s affordable. He worked his entire life to build a future, so he knows how precious the money he earns is.
He says that art is for pleasure; it should not stretch the artist’s wallet. Through a licensing agreement with Sundance Graphics of Orlando, FL, his Coastal Art images are marketed widely, and that places his work in furniture and home decor stores across the southern states. His art are affordable original pieces on the coastal region that lace homes with the tranquil dispositions of its charm and personality. A calming beach scene, ladies skirting the surf or a Flamingo with attitude are some of the things he likes working on. And there’s always something to excite most viewer’s tastes in his art. He loves to paint large canvases and his originals are available on request.
