about julie
My work is about the celebration of colour and form in landscape. It is an emotional response to the nature's awe-inspiring scenes which I find intriguing. Captivating views, often of the countryside or the coast, offer the opportunity to stop and gaze, to become lost in the beauty of the land, providing a brief escape from the preoccupations of life.
My photographs become the starting point for the work followed by sketchbook trials to explore the subject matter, colours and textures. Using a variety of media including paper, paint, fabric and thread which I layer and distress, I create my impressions of the scenes I love, combining machine and hand stitching to build up the surface texture.
