About Julia

I grew up by the sea and it has always been my place of solace, comfort and sometimes place to vent!

My formal art training is with St Ives School of Painting, where I’ve attended courses since 2018, most recently the respected 1 year Porthmeor Artist Development Programme and this year, the Porthmeor Masters Programme.

As a Yoga and meditation teacher, my artistic practice is a spiritual one. There is a dialogue between me and the brush, which often moves in a way that is as much a mystery to me as any as the painting unfolds. Painting is both a meditation and an important embodiment practice for me, releasing energy onto the canvas or board.

Like the sea, no two of my paintings are ever alike and you will find in them many layers of colour, texture, energy and feeling. I hope that they talk to you the way the ocean speaks with me and bring you to the peace and calm or wild release that you need.

“Her painting feels soft and feminine but at the same time contains a depth and strength that draws me in.” Richard, recent exhibition visitor
