While we wish we could spend all day, everyday on the beach, the reality is that most of us can’t. But surf artist Julie Goldstein has found a way to capture the feeling of the sea and bring it indoors for us to enjoy. Breezymama, a clever, cool, and contemporary site dedicated to active mom’s, recently interviewed Julie and helped shed some light on this amazing artist. Below is the intro written by Alex (one of the brains behind Breezymama)

The first time I saw Julie’s work was in my former, pre-mom life. I was working for SG: Surf, Snow, Skate Girl Magazine and the editors were all abuzz about this hot female artist. I saw photos of her work and was taken aback. Julie does mostly woodcut printing and there was something about the vibrant colors and graceful lines of the surfer, juxtaposing with the roughness of the wood that really spoke to me… –Alex
