«Sometimes life teaches us to slow down...at that moment, happiness appears before our eyes» Julie Denis My name is Julie Denis. I am a self taught multi disciplinary artist in the Eastern Township, Quebec (Canada). I have been painting since I am a child. Art has always been part of my life but my job has too often put aside my passion for art. Workalcoholic, I was not realizing that I was unhappy. To show you that I'm a positive woman who loves life, here are some of my difficult challenges that I have overcome since 2006 Of course, before 2006, I experienced other challenges. But it was not until 2006 that I have reached the pinnacle. In 2006, I lost my job and divorce. A few years later, in 2011, my life has been affected by breast cancer. I am happy to be a breast cancer survivor. I now understand the fragility of life because between 2011 and 2013, it was difficult. I never lost hope. As if that was not enough, I had a long and delicate back surgery in March 2015. The recovery is going well. With my story, I just want you to understand that we must enjoy life; enjoy each single moment of the day. That is why I decided to create inspirational quotes for everybody who needs encouragement. In 2011, I made the decision to believe in my dreams and to be a full-time artist. Today I am happy and I continue to believe that the Universe gives me a second chance in life. In his campaign, Obama repeated his mantra "yes we can". My mantra is "Yes I can !" Believe in your dreams !
