The biography.

From her early teenage years, Julia found solace and comfort painting alone in her room, because that is what art is:  the expression of the joy derived from the belief that the artist is creating a heightened reality of what life can and should, be for a person.

Life offers many reasons to retreat into a private realm.  Art as therapy offered her joy and peace and the opportunity to escape reality by delving into a world of imagination, emotion and colour.

Julia’s work is often described as layered, elegant, richly coloured, atmospheric and moody, contemporary, and as capturing rich visual textures. She believes art has the power to bring happiness and a calming reprieve to her clients’ lives.
