"Daily walks on the south coast inform my work. I enjoy the excitement and immediacy of working outside and relate to the coast and living on the edge of the landscape. The endless space from the cliff top to the horizon is a constant source of inspiration. I sit on the beach painting the landscape and distant figures standing at the waters edge. My work, made on paper, are memories, which capture the a feeling of space and the transience of our existence. The paintings and work in paper give an alternative view of reality. Subtle layers of paint and texture give a depth to each piece and as I paint I push the boundaries of the medium. When I work there is constant reference to nature and a desire to reach the heart of the matter."
Julie has beed elected Associate Member of the Society of Women Artists, August 2019.
