Julia has been a professional painter since 1990 and has a successful international career exhibiting in Munich where she lived for 10 years. During this time she also worked on architectural partnership projects, led creative arts holidays in the Appenine Mountains and workshops at Volkshochschule teaching ‘Expressive Use of Colour and Perspective’. 

Previous study at The Falmouth School of Art motivated Julia to return to Cornwall in 2005 inspiring her body of work combining the local landscape with structural industrial forms. From her experience as a carer Julia conceived her internationally recognised ‘arts and health’ courses delivering motivational colour workshops to socially isolated community groups.

Inspired by the Sussex landscape Julia moved to Ashdown Forest earlier this year and joined The Chalk Gallery in May 2010.  She continues to exhibit and teach in Sussex, Cornwall and Europe.
